What is the direct translation of "Zaytun?"

The direct translation of Zaytun is "Olives".

wow!!

korean muslims..........I gotta read more about them

I think Korean should out of Iraq.
Leave this expensive mess for USA...., they started it.....
Peace....!

Korean Muslim...? Well that's rare. How many are them in Korea...?
Now most of Korean are Christian aren't they....?

fu-k no...

why did they name it zaytun? zaytun is the name of a famous city in china, now called quanzhou. it also has the oldest mosque in east asia.

Strange coincidance. The military called it "zaytun" because it means olives in arabic, and olives symbolizes peace in the arab region (like how the dove symbolizes peace in the west).

Zaytun division is just there for reconstruction and security. There are combat troops (including special forces), but the vast majority are military engineers and such.

edit- I forgot to mention that Zaytun has expanded its role somewhat since its deployment. They're protecting a UN building near the base, and are training the Iraqi National Guard.
