Iraq
/ Religion
Almost all
Iraqis are Muslims; about 53 percent are followers of Shiah Islam,
42 percent of Sunni Islam and only about 3 percent are Christians.
Islam plays
a major role in the lives of most Iraqis, both rural and urban.
They visit the mosque on Friday for the weekly reading of the
Koran and prayers, and they observe religious holidays.
