	Akkad - LoveToKnow 1911
		10), for one of the four chief cities, Akkad, Babel, Erech and Calneh, which constituted the nucleus of the kingdom of Nimrod in the land of Shinar or Babylonia.
		The later Assyro-Babylonian Semitic form Akkadu ("of or belonging to Akkad") is, in all likelihood, a Semitic loan form from the non-Semitic name Agade, and seems to be an additional demonstration of the identity of Agade and Akkad.
		Professor McCurdy has very reasonably suggested 6 that the title "king of Sumer and Akkad" indicated merely a claim to the ancient territory and city of Akkad together with certain additional territory, but not necessarily all Babylonia, as was formerly believed.

		Akkad would have shown us the superbly civilized Saladin's resistance to the West, in contrast to the that of the thoroughly demonized Saddam, and thus demonstrated that not all Arabs are stamped from the same mold.
		The tragedy of Akkad's death is his ability to understand the value of the Muslim "unseen." He would have had an edge in helping transcend the two cultures in order to translate the great value of the "unseen" into something that Westerners could understand, appreciate, and truly yearn for.
