Iraq launches the national TLD in Arabic: .jihad

Following on the footsteps of Egypt and their new TLD, “.masr”, Iraqi officials made a major announcement earlier today.

It’d be a true delight in the days of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney; the Iraqi “Registry for Domains and WMD” has issued its national TLD in Arabic.

The much-coveted IDN TLD translates from Arabic script as “.jihad

Iraq won the race against Iran, as it has the technological infrastructure, provided for with American tax-payer money.

It’s not clear what national TLD will be used by Iran, now that the main keyword is taken.

    Of course, it came from American tax-payer money to reconstruct Iraq, which now boasts superfast Internet access with the latest fiberoptic technology.
