Thanks.

What does Al-Adil mean in the latest EOM msg? I've found an ancient coin with that name, minted in Damascus. Also,
SNIP:
Al-Adil was one of several Baghdad districts built by Hussein's government to house army officers and secret police. Today, people who resent losing the power and jobs they derived from the ousted government live cheek-by-jowl with the many who welcomed its fall.
Then, there is some 13th Century stuff about a guy named Al-Adil. Seems that name is passed along, alot.
