Iraq adopted them in 1963, with three green stars for a hoped-for union with Egypt and Syria. The present flag, without the stars, was adopted on 22 January 2008. Red stands for courage, white for generosity, black for the victories of Islam, and green for the faith itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlag Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdopted:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 January 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial proportions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2:3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e red, white, black, green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmblem:\u003c\/strong\u003e the takbir in Kufic script\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVexillographer's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArabic is read right to left, so on the flag the inscription begins at the fly side.
