It used to be about 2% of Iraq's population, but due to the violence, many have fled. So, probably less than 1% at the moment. Saddam was actually a secularist who did not discriminate against Christians, and in fact, his Deputy Prime Minister - Tariq Aziz - was a Christian.
2 :
Religions: Muslim 97% (Shi'a 60%-65%, Sunni 32%-37%), Christian or other 3% Not so:Aziz was born at Tell Kaif to a Chaldean Catholic Catholic family, an Iraqi minority group. Originally named Michael Yuhanna, he changed his name to Tariq Aziz (glorious past) to allay hostile sentiments towards his religious heritage.
3 :
Very few, Majority of Christians live in Christian neighborhoods, NE side of Baghdad or in the safer Kurdish regions
4 :
The percentages are similar to the U.S. Something like 1% real Christians, and 99% hypocritical right wing scum...
5 :
About 2% before the U.S. began offensive military operations. Many of the Chaldean Catholics have relocated to the San Diego area in California. Thetre are also Syriac Catholics in Iraq. Both groups are normally found in the northern provinces of the country.
