Those Bad Ol' Iraqis?

There are huge cultural differences between the Arab world and the Western world. Major ones being:

- Religion. Islam is a large part of an average Iraqi's daily life - more than Christianity is part of an average Westerner's
- Equality/ diversity - partly because of the above, partly because of tribal traditions still extant, there are very different views about the place of women in society in most Arab countries and the treatment of homosexuals
- The weapons/ macho culture. Very much an eye for an eye, and weapons are often let off in celebration/ protest. They love a bit of burning in effigy too

Hmmmm....
