- MaDonal abstract "MaDonal (Central Kurdish: مادۆنال) is a restaurant located in the town of Sulaymaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan. It intentionally resembles the fast food chain McDonald's, both in appearance and menu; for instance, MaDonal's menu includes \"Big Macks.\" It is one of two McDonald's-like restaurants in the town; the other one, Matbax, claims that MaDonal is \"cheap quality\".The owner, Suleiman Qassab, was a fighter in the Kurdish resistance during the 1970s. He became a refugee in Vienna, Austria, where he got a job as a cook at McDonald's. In the 1990s, he applied for permits to create a McDonald's in Iraq, but the McDonald’s Corporation turned him down, due to economic sanctions imposed during the regime of Saddam Hussein, as well as the controlled economy of Iraq at the time.In response, he established MaDonal Restaurant, which is still in business. Since establishing MaDonal, Qassab has offered free food to U.S. forces, been threatened, and has become a \"Kurdish celebrity.\" Qassab hopes to one day turn MaDonal into an actual McDonald's restaurant.MaDonal is popular with Sulaymaniyah's youth, and the upper middle class. It is open even during Ramadan.Sociologist George Ritzer sees MaDonal as part of a trend of other countries developing their own regional variations of McDonald’s. Journalist Christopher Hitchens said it was \"reassuring\" to see signs of progress like MaDonal \"in an atmosphere that only a few years ago was heavy with miasmic decay and the reek of poison gas.\"Qassab is just one of many who have requested permission to open up a McDonald’s in Iraq. Should this happen, there has been speculation by some about whether McDonald's will eventually take legal action against MaDonal. However, MaDonal appears safe for now, as one journalist notes: \"The flow of applications to open an Iraqi McDonald's stopped as quickly as it started, and the corporate lawyers never came to Sulaymaniyah.\"".
