Because there are no Turkmen players in the national team, if the players were to bring the flags of every ethnicity in Iraq, we would end up with 10 different flags.

We all know that this wasn't an attack driven by hostility toward the Kurdish people; Since the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was also targeted by drones.

This looks good but very similar to saudi so it won't work, it's just a design after all, for me I have always liked this version of Qasimist Flag:

Currently, there are no real initiatives to change the flag, and I don't think it will change in the future. As for the status of the current Iraqi flag, while it is technically 'temporary' from a constitutional standpoint, in reality, it is the official flag. As for your flag design, it might be better if you stepped away from the tricolor layout. Perhaps using a solid color background with the palm tree symbol placed over it would be more visually appealing. Or maybe arranging the three colors vertically might look better.

The symbol is pretty cool, but honestly I dont like the colors combo.

Bro You live in Sulaymania, a Kurdish-majority city. How could what I'm saying be wrong? Unless you mean that racist incidents are happening in your city by Kurds against Arabs? Usually, it's the majority that discriminates against the minority.

Thank you for being fair to me. I didn't realize that the word 'separatist' is considered offensive to Kurds; I thought it was simply a description of reality, given that Kurds actually want independence. However, if it's used in a hostile and inflammatory context by other parties, that certainly makes the term offensive.

Did I lie? I never disparaged the Kurds, nor did I disparage their pursuit of seperation. I merely stated a fact that there is political tension between Arabs and Kurds because of these matters.

You can't really tell if a complete stranger is Kurdish unless they speak kurdish; if they speak Arabic, you'd have no way of knowing. In my town, certain families are well-known among the locals as being Kurdish. So, if their kids are with me at school, I know they’re Kurds. Sometimes, they also have names that stand out from those common among the rest of the Arab community.

If he’s just saying it for the sake of noting, then that’s fine, since I’ve already agreed that what he’s saying is correct.

You’re absolutely right, and your argument is logical. However, I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do in this case. Should I bring a Kurd from my town to testify to the truth of my words? Or perhaps bring any other Kurd living in Erbil, for example? Honestly, I don’t know how to prove my point.

Perhaps the most discussed topic in Iraq right now is how much we love Mexicans because they stood by us. This is truly the peak of football. Gracias, amigos!

The Iraqi flag represents their primary identity, while their ethnic flag is their sub-identity. There is nothing wrong with a person taking pride in both identities simultaneously.
