But at the same time, significantly more Iraqis support democratic
values, including the separation of religion and politics.In 2004, 27 percent of the 2,325 Iraqi adults surveyed strongly
agreed that Iraq would be a better place if religion and politics
were separated. In 2006, 41 percent of 2,701 adults surveyed
strongly agreed.“The findings of this second survey show that even though Iraqis
have a more negative attitude to foreigners, especially Americans,
they are moving closer to American values
So it’s an “American value” to separate religion & politics? Someone
should tell American politics about this.
