Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Minorities in Iraq include various ethnic and religious groups. The Kurds (Muslim, Yarsan and Yezidi), Assyrians, and Iraqi Turkmen represent the three largest non-Arab minorities in the country. Other smaller ethnic groups include Armenians, Roma, and Persians. Religious groups include Sunni Arabs, Christians, Mandeans, Iraqi Jews, and Bahá''ís. These groups have not enjoyed equal status with the majority Arab populations throughout Iraq''s eighty-five year history. Like the Shi''a Muslims, the ruling Arab Socialist Ba''th Party harshly oppressed these minorities during its rule of Iraq. Under Ba''athist rule, Iraq, despite being one of the most multi-ethnic and multi-religious countries in the Near East, these groups were forced to deny their identities under Saddam Hussein''s process of Arabization. The situation of the Kurds, however, has changed since the toppling of the Ba''ath party. The remainder of these ethnic groups continue to struggle against Islamic extremists, Arab nationalists, and criminal elements.
