Did Baghdad exist when Noah built the Ark?
This is a question that confuses myth and history. Noah is supposed to have lived more than four thousand years ago, while the city of Baghdad was founded in 762 CE. Clearly, the legendary date of the biblical Flood is long before the time of Baghdad's founding.
Are there porcupine's in Iraq?
Are there porcupine's in Iraq? Yes- The one's I have seen are black in color and the biggest I have seen is approximately 3 feet in length. I have yet to get a picture of one of them, cause they seem to be very defensive and will run from preditors at a moments notice. They seem to be somewhat fast and able to hide easily, especially at night. The times of day that I have seen porcupine's here in Iraq were twighlight hours and early morning. I don't know what they eat or where they stay, but my guess is they stay in the crevises of the rock walls. Thank You

Jordan is bordered by which countries?
certainly israel syria Iraq & Saudi Arabia
but Jordan also shares at least hypothetically an often overlooked sea border with Egypt in the gulf of aqaba
& tho jordans border with the west bank aka palestine is questionable because palestine is not really a country
& because israel not palestine actually occupies the entire west bank of the Jordan river
which forms the boundary with Jordan
nevertheless
palestine does enjoy a narrow corridor from Jericho to Jordan across the allenby bridge which is thus itself a very short border of sorts with a country of sorts too
How many types of snakes found in Iraq?
"6..... 5 vipers and 1 cobra. ALL SNAKES IN IRAQ ARE VENMOUS" was the original reply, which is absolutely incorrect. In fact, if you search the internet, you will find several websites (mostly forums whose answers are from non-medical personnel) claiming that all snakes in Iraq are venomous.
The first portion of this answer is almost correct. However, the question doesn't ask how many are native to Iraq, it simply asks how many are found in Iraq. Therefore, six types of venomous snakes are native to Iraq, and an unknown number of other species have been reported.

What are some ongoing problems in Iraq between Shiites Sunnis and Kurds?
Answer 1
they all have problem of only presence of US in Iraq.
Answer 2
There are far more substantial problems between the Shiite Arabs, Sunni Arabs, and Kurds than just the American Armed Forces which have departed Iraq since December 16, 2011. It is also unhelpful to see the conflict as a religious conflict. In Iraq, people traditionally organize politically by their religious group.
As a result, there have been numerous confrontations between Iraq's diverse population for political advantages. Among these conflicts exists a conflict between Sunni Arabs and Shiite Arab, especially near Baghdad where the neighborhoods are evenly mixed between them. As a result, we also have seen numerous Shiite-Shiite conflicts in areas where rival Shiite leaders were competing for power. The Iraqi Army and Police Force and tried to maintain a lid on the various factional groups, such as the Sadrists, Shi'a Groups in the Shi'a Holy Region, Sunni Arab Fedayyin, the Kurdish Pershmerga and branches of the PKK from attacking each other and establishing power bases.
Kurds and Sunni Arabs want increased autonomy from the central government. Kurds want their own rule in order to practice their own culture and defend themselves from violent attacks and genocides. Sunni Arabs (especially in Anbar Province) want autonomy in order to retain the local control that that they had under Saddam. Shiites, as the majority, prefer a more powerful federal system.
How money sunni Iraqi population?
The Sunni population in Iraq is estimated to make up about 20-25% of the country's total population, which is around 40 million people. This demographic is primarily concentrated in central and western regions, including Anbar province and parts of Nineveh and Salahuddin. Sunni Arabs have historically played a significant role in Iraq's political and social landscape, particularly during the rule of Saddam Hussein, but have faced challenges and marginalization in the post-2003 political environment. The Sunni community continues to seek greater political representation and security amid ongoing sectarian tensions.

How were ethnic rivalries in countries like Syria and Iraq kept in check for decades?
Ethnic rivalries in Syria and Iraq were kept in check primarily through the use of REPRESSIVE GOVERNMENTAL ACTION. The leaders of Syria (Hafez al-Assad and his son Bashar al-Assad) and the leader of Iraq (Saddam Hussein), routinely massacred any who opposed their authoritarian rule and effectively kept the peace between the clans/tribes/groups by promising to bring the full force of the army down on any clan/tribe/group that promoted violence against another group.
With the toppling of Saddam Hussein in 2003 and the Syrian Civil War in 2011, these ethnic rivalries were able to resume since the national government was no longer capable of promising intense repression and violence against those who promote violence within the country.
