They aren’t very good at anagrams, then.
Hmmm…. Agrabah seems to have different letters than Baghdad.
Thats not an anagram.
I always thought Aladdin was Persian.

I call bullshit.
Can’t be humanizing the enemy by having their capital featured in a Disney movie.
Bomb Agrabah!
Technically if they were being true to the source it would be set in “China”, but that would just be confusing
Hanna Diyab, a Maronite from Syria, told the story of Aladdin in France.
