Gender roles in Iraq?

lalalallalal

ANSWER #2

Iraq is largely an Islamic country, so the gender roles are very clearly defined as they are for most Islamists. Islam is a strictly patriarchal religion such that men are at the head of their family and society generally. The role of women in Islam is also clearly defined. They are expected to be strictly obedient to their husbands. Their role in society is as a wife and mother, taking little or no part in public affairs, especially politics and self improvement through education. In most cases women are not permitted to have a driving licence, let alone drive a vehicle. They are also expected to be modest in their manner of dress at home and in public, keeping most of their body covered, especially the hair.

What is the difference between Persian and Iranian?

Persians are an Indo-European people who developed a civilization in what is now Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The Persian Empire is known for a vast expansion, characterized by a tolerant attitude towards minorities and gifts of autonomy to local regions, governed by an absolutist king. Their historic religion is Zoroastrianism, but after the conquest of Persia by the Islamic Caliphate, the majority religion of the Persians (as well as the ethnic minorities of Iran) has become Shiite Islam.

The Turks are composed of two historical groups that intermarried and created a unified culture. Oghuz Türk nomads, an Altaic people from Central Asia, conquered Anatolia and brought it under their rule. During that period, those former Byzantine citizens who converted to Islam began to take on the same mannerisms as the foreign Türks who had conquered them. They began to speak the same language, dress in the same clothes, and believe in the same general ideologies. This process is well-documented by Turks and is called Turkification or Türkleşme. Turks primarily exist in Turkey and Cyprus with a significant diaspora in the USA and Germany. The historic Turkish State was the absolute monarchy of the Ottomans and the modern Turkish State is the Secular Turkish Republic. Sunni Islam has always been a central part of Turkish identification and culture and was one of the earliest markers of "Turkishness". With the advent of the Secular Turkish Republic, there has been a push to determine Turkishness based on forms of identity other than religion, to make Jewish, Christian, and Alevi citizens of Turkey into Turks as well.
