Last class we had a speaker from Iraq. Given the stereotypes all the hoo-plah on TV and other sources I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this speaker. Ever since Iraq’s liberation from a dictatorship, they’ve aquired many rights and freedoms.
Bagdad is where the speaker was from. The city is still having trouble against the threat against their lives, because it is not safe to walk where ever one pleases to walk.
1. What is the predominant religion in Jordan?
2. Have there been any disputes over religion in Jordan in the past 10 years? 25? 50?

In regards to the speaker last class, I must apologize due to my 24 hour bug that I was enduring during the whole day. However somethings that I did manage to catch while I was awake during class was that head cloth was optional for women in Jordan. Along with that it surprised me to hear about the multitude of freedom of women in Jordan as well.
Unfortunately that was all I could remember from last class.
