Iraq is a Muslim country, with a mixed Shia and Sunnis population. Most sources estimate that around 65% of the population in Iraqi are Shia, and around 35% of the population are Arab Sunni. However, the question of religious demographics is controversial and some Iraqis, who follow Sunni Islam dispute these figures, including an ex-Iraqi ambassador,[97] referring to American sources.[98] claiming that many reports only include Arab Sunnis as "Sunni", excluding the Kurdish and Turkmen ethnic groups, who are predominantly Sunnis, making Sunnis almost half the population. Iraq contains the sacred Shia cities of Najaf and Karbala.[99] in addition to many other other Sunni and Shia shrines.
Religious composition includes:
* Islam, 95%; Christianity or other, 5%.[100]
Three estimates of the Muslim proportions of the population are:
* Shia up to 65%, Sunni about 35% (source: Encyclopædia Britannica).
* Shia 60%65%, Sunni 32%37% (source: CIA World Fact Book).
* Shia 65%, Sunni 35% (source: World Christian Encyclopedia)
Christians have inhabited what is modern day Iraq for about 2,000 years.[101] Assyrians (also called Syriacs and Chaldeans) most of whom are adherents of the Chaldean Catholic Church, Syriac Orthodox Church and the Assyrian Church of the East account for most of Iraq's Christian population, along with Armenians. Estimates for the numbers of Christians suggest a decline from 810% in the mid-20th century to 5% at the turn of the century, to around 4% in 2008. About 600,000 Iraqi Christians have fled to Syria, Jordan or other countries or relocated to Iraqi Kurdistan.which is also the traditional homeland of the Assyrian people. There are also small populations of Mandaeans, Shabaks, Yarsan and Yezidis. The Iraqi Jewish community, numbering around 150,000 in 1941, almost entirely left the country.[102]
In November 2006, the UNHCR estimated that 1.8 million Iraqis had been displaced to neighboring countries, who are mostly Sunni Muslims and Christians. Nearly 100,000 Iraqis fleeing to Syria and Jordan each month, while another 1.6 million were displaced internally.[103] According to official United States Citizenship and Immigration Services statistics, 58,811 Iraqis have been granted refugee-status citizenship as of May 25, 2011.[104]
