Baghdad (Arabic:بغداد ,بغداد Kurdish:Bexda, Iraqi pronunciation: [bɐʁˈd̪ɑːd̪]) is the capital of the Republic of Iraq. The population of Baghdad, as of 2011, is approximately 7,216,040, making it the largest city in Iraq, the second largest city in the Arab world (after Cairo, Egypt), and the second largest city in Western Asia (after Tehran, Iran). According to the government, the population of the country has reached 35million, with 9million in the capital.
Located along the Tigris River, the city was founded in the 8th century and became the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. Within a short time of its inception, Baghdad evolved into a significant cultural, commercial, and intellectual center for the Islamic world. This, in addition to housing several key academic institutions (e.g. House of Wisdom), garnered the city a worldwide reputation as the "Center of Learning".
Throughout the High Middle Ages, Baghdad was considered to be the largest city in the world with an estimated population of 1,200,000 people. The city was largely destroyed at the hands of the Mongol Empire in 1258, resulting in a decline that would linger through many centuries due to frequent plagues and multiple successive empires. With the recognition of Iraq as an independent state (formerly the British Mandate of Mesopotamia) in 1938, Baghdad gradually regained some of its former prominence as a significant center of Arab culture.
Baghdad is a 7-inchEP released by Americanpunk rock band The Offspring on May 15, 1991. It is currently out of print, but sold 3000 copies within one week of its release. Although Baghdad has never been reissued on CD in its entirety, one of the songs were later released on compilations: "Baghdad" was released on Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1 (Fat Wreck Chords, 2004). The band's official website does not list Baghdad in the otherwise comprehensive discography anymore (as of July 2013, the website lists only the studio albums and their Greatest Hits compilation album).
Track listing
Track Notes
The EP includes an early version of "Get It Right" of which a later version was released on their second studio albumIgnition. The title track "Baghdad" was a re-recording of the song "Tehran" which appeared on the Offspring's debut self-titled album in 1989. It switches the words "Tehran" (the capital of Iran) for "Baghdad" (the capital of Iraq). The EP also includes a cover version of "Hey Joe" by Billy Roberts (a different version from what was later released on "Gone Away") and a previous unreleased instrumental track "The Blurb", which would not appear on any future recordings, but served as the basis for an early version of "Genocide", as well as "Change the World".
Baghdad was a diocese of the Syrian Orthodox Church, attested between the ninth and thirteenth centuries. The diocese was probably established soon after Baghdad became the capital of the ʿAbbasid caliphate in the 770s. Eight Jacobite bishops of Baghdad are mentioned in the narratives of Michael the Syrian, Bar Hebraeus and other sources.
Sources
The main primary sources for the Syrian Orthodox bishops of Baghdad are the Chronicle of the Syrian Orthodox patriarch Michael the Syrian (1166–99) and the Chronicon Ecclesiasticum of the thirteenth-century Jacobite polymath Bar Hebraeus.
Bishops of Baghdad
Eight Jacobite bishops of Baghdad are attested between the ninth and thirteenth centuries.
The bishop Laʿzar bar Sabtha of Baghdad was deposed by the patriarch Dionysius of Tel Mahre (818–45) in 826.
The bishop Yohannan of Baghdad was consecrated by the patriarch Dionysius of Tel Mahre (818–45) in October or November 829 to replace the deposed bishop Laʿzar bar Sabtha.
The Kingdom of Iraq under British Administration or Mandatory Iraq (Arabic:الانتداب البريطاني على العراقal-Intidāb al-Brīṭānī ‘Alá al-‘Irāq) was created in 1921 following the 1920 Iraqi Revolt against the proposed British Mandate of Mesopotamia, and enacted via the 1922 Anglo-Iraqi Treaty.
Faisal ibn Husayn, who had been proclaimed King of Syria by a Syrian National Congress in Damascus in March 1920, was ejected by the French in July of the same year. Faisal was then granted by the British the territory of Iraq, to rule it as a kingdom, with the British Royal Air Force (RAF) retaining certain military control, though de facto; the territory remained under British administration until 1932.
The civil government of postwar Iraq was headed originally by the High Commissioner, Sir Percy Cox, and his deputy, ColonelArnold Wilson. British reprisals after the murder of a British officer in Najaf failed to restore order. The most striking problem facing the British was the growing anger of the nationalists, who continued to fight against the imposition of British authority. British administration had yet to be established in Iraqi Kurdistan.
The indigenous Sumerians and Akkadians (including Assyrians and Babylonians) dominated Mesopotamia from the beginning of written history (c. 3100 BC) to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It fell to Alexander the Great in 332 BC, and after his death, it became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire.

"F*CK YOU AMERICA!!!" (Baghdad, Iraq 🇮🇶)
These Iraqi children are full of HARAM!
We went out for a night on the town and Baghdad, Iraq! But not to drink, cause that would be HARAM! We went to the finest mosque in all of Baghdad - Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani!
It was nice meeting all the fine locals but all the unholy things the kids were saying was absurd! I have never heard such HARAM! I hope they grow up to learn the mistakes of their sinful and vow never to use such profanity again!
After the Mosque we hit the streets of Baghdad. Right away we met some kind Iraqi people who invited us for tea and shisha! They got offended tho once I bought them shawarma and to make it up they drove us home and to various places around the city! Crazy night!

Solo in Iraq's Capital of Baghdad! 🇮🇶
Curious to see what Baghdad Iraq look like in 2023? I was determined to get lost in the streets of Baghdad and get a better look at life in the centre of the city. I walked through the alley ways, shops and street markets alone and met many wonderful local Iraqi residents.
Baghdad is the capital of Iraq and the second-largest city in the Arab world after Cairo, Egypt. It is located on the Tigris near the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon.

These Iraqi children are full of HARAM!
We went out for a night on the town and Baghdad, Iraq! But not to drink, cause that would be HARAM! We went to the finest mosque in all of Baghdad - Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani!
It was nice meeting all the fine locals but all the unholy things the kids were saying was absurd! I have never heard such HARAM! I hope they grow up to learn the mistakes of their sinful and vow never to use such profanity again!
After the Mosque we hit the streets of Baghdad. Right away we met some kind Iraqi people who invited us for tea and shisha! They got offended tho once I bought them shawarma and to make it up they drove us home and to various places around the city! Crazy night!

Curious to see what Baghdad Iraq look like in 2023? I was determined to get lost in the streets of Baghdad and get a better look at life in the centre of the city. I walked through the alley ways, shops and street markets alone and met many wonderful local Iraqi residents.
Baghdad is the capital of Iraq and the second-largest city in the Arab world after Cairo, Egypt. It is located on the Tigris near the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon.

HOLY CRAP GUYS... I finally made it to Baghdad - the wild capital city of Iraq! It's a place that I've been dreaming of visiting for 5 years now, and I was luckily able to pick up the visa at the Iraqi embassy in Istanbul a few weeks ago.
In the first episode of this 9-part series, I document the stressful, yet exhilarating experience of getting into Baghdad with my fellow 'every country' buddy Alvaro (https://www.instagram.com/wanderreds/). Our first 24 hours has been a roller coaster of emotions, but in the end, I am LOVING it here and I can't wait to see more! 🇮🇶 Have I ever mentioned to you that the Middle East is my favorite region in the world?

These Iraqi children are full of HARAM!
We went out for a night on the town and Baghdad, Iraq! But not to drink, cause that would be HARAM! We went to the finest mosque in all of Baghdad - Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani!
It was nice meeting all the fine locals but all the unholy things the kids were saying was absurd! I have never heard such HARAM! I hope they grow up to learn the mistakes of their sinful and vow never to use such profanity again!
After the Mosque we hit the streets of Baghdad. Right away we met some kind Iraqi people who invited us for tea and shisha! They got offended tho once I bought them shawarma and to make it up they drove us home and to various places around the city! Crazy night!

Baghdad (Arabic:بغداد ,بغداد Kurdish:Bexda, Iraqi pronunciation: [bɐʁˈd̪ɑːd̪]) is the capital of the Republic of Iraq. The population of Baghdad, as of 2011, is approximately 7,216,040, making it the largest city in Iraq, the second largest city in the Arab world (after Cairo, Egypt), and the second largest city in Western Asia (after Tehran, Iran). According to the government, the population of the country has reached 35million, with 9million in the capital.
Located along the Tigris River, the city was founded in the 8th century and became the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. Within a short time of its inception, Baghdad evolved into a significant cultural, commercial, and intellectual center for the Islamic world. This, in addition to housing several key academic institutions (e.g. House of Wisdom), garnered the city a worldwide reputation as the "Center of Learning".
Throughout the High Middle Ages, Baghdad was considered to be the largest city in the world with an estimated population of 1,200,000 people. The city was largely destroyed at the hands of the Mongol Empire in 1258, resulting in a decline that would linger through many centuries due to frequent plagues and multiple successive empires. With the recognition of Iraq as an independent state (formerly the British Mandate of Mesopotamia) in 1938, Baghdad gradually regained some of its former prominence as a significant center of Arab culture.

At least 11 Palestinians killed and scores injured in Israeli airstrikes on civilians in northern Gaza, a house in the central area and displaced people's tents in Khan Younis, with the death toll ...
Iraq will resume flights between Baghdad and Beirut, Lebanon next week following a three-week suspension after the Syrian regime's overthrow, Iraq’s Transport Minister Razzaq Muhibis Al-Saadawi said on Saturday.
Qasim Moini, a member of Dawn’s editorial team, told Dawn.com that he foresees “immense bloodshed and total anarchy” in Iraq, Lebanon and even Jordan... These two groups would combine and become the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Another notoriously corrupt NGO that continues to work with USAID is Blumont, previously known as InternationalRelief and Development (IRD), whose misconduct in Iraq and Afghanistan was the subject of another US investigation.
