Islamization of Iraq

The Islamization of Iraq refers to the process through which Islamic beliefs, practices, and laws increasingly influence the country's culture, politics, and society. This shift has historical roots, particularly following the Islamic conquest in the 7th century, but intensified in recent decades due to factors like the rise of religious extremism, conflicts, and foreign interventions. The fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003 led to greater religious expression, with various groups advocating for Islamic governance. Today, Iraq's political landscape is shaped by a blend of secular and Islamic elements, reflecting diverse societal views on religion's role in public life.
