30% of GOP voters nationally support bombing Agrabah, the country from Aladdin Popular Posts

Don't ever let the facts get in the way of a crowd-pleasing massacre.

From The Guardian:

More than 530 Republican primary voters were polled this week on their support for Republican candidates and foreign policy issues including banning Muslims from entering the US, Japanese internment camps from the second world war and bombing Agrabah, the kingdom from Disney’s animated classic, Aladdin.

In its poll, Public Policy Polling asked the 532 Republicans: “Would you support or oppose bombing Agrabah?” While 57% of responders said they were not sure, 30% said they supported bombing it. Only 13% opposed it.

Poster Comment:

My question to the pollster would have been, "Where is Agrabah." Personally, I never heard of it, even if it is from Aladdin.

Indeed.

I couldn't find "Agrabah" in my old translation of "A Thousand and One Nights" (Sir Richard Francis Burton ) This place was cooked up by tribal writers working for Disney. All history and literature is filtered through such distorted optics these days.

Aladdin, the 1992 animated feature by Walt Disney Feature Animation (possibly currently the best known version). In this version several characters are renamed or amalgamated (for instance the Sorcerer and the Sultan's vizier become the same person named "Jafar" while the Princess becomes "Jasmine"), have new motivations for their actions (the Lamp Genie now desires freedom from his role) or are simply replaced (a magic carpet fills the place of the Ring Genie in the plot, while a royal "magic ring" is used by Jafar to find Aladdin). Names from and elements of the 1940 live-action The Thief of Baghdad are borrowed (for instance, the names "Jafar" and "Abu" and the Sultan's delight in toys). The setting is moved from China to the fictional Arabian city of Agrabah, and the structure of the plot is simplified. - Wiki
