1. Sandstormer:<\/strong>\u00a0Sand- og st\u00f8vstormer herjer Irak i 20-50 dager hvert \u00e5r. De forekommer hyppigst om sommeren. Stormene kan v\u00e6re opptil flere tusen meter h\u00f8ye.<\/p>\n

2. Bibelen:<\/strong>\u00a0If\u00f8lge Bibelen var Abraham fra Ur i det s\u00f8rlige Irak. Isaks kone, Rebekka, var fra Nahor, som ogs\u00e5 ligger i Irak (p\u00e5 grensen til Iran). If\u00f8lge legenden skal Edens hage ogs\u00e5 ha ligget i Irak.<\/p>\n

3. Beundring og ros:<\/strong>\u00a0Hvis du beundrer en gjenstand i et irakisk hjem (for eksempel en vase), vil irakeren vanligvis insistere p\u00e5 \u00e5 gi deg den. Derfor er det vanlig \u00e5 ikke rose andres eiendom for mye.<\/p>\n

4. Tigris og Eufrat:<\/strong>\u00a0Den fruktbare regionen mellom de ber\u00f8mte elvene Tigris og Eufrat ga stabilitet for de f\u00f8rste innbyggerne rundt 700 f.Kr. i omr\u00e5det der Irak ligger i dag. Regionen har hatt mange navn gjennom tidene - blant annet det arabiske \"Al-Jazira\" (\u00f8ya) og det greske \"Mesopotamia\" (landet mellom to elver).<\/p>\n

5. Kvinner:<\/strong>\u00a0Kvinner i Irak har tradisjonelt sett hatt st\u00f8rre frihet enn kvinner i de omkringliggende landene. Men etter Golfkrigen (1990-1991) har kvinners situasjon forverret seg p\u00e5 grunn av den \u00f8kende innflytelsen fra ulike religi\u00f8se grupper i samfunnet.<\/p>\n

Fakta: Iraks nasjonalrett \"Masgouf\" er grillet karpe. Tradisjonelt tilberedes den p\u00e5 trepinner over b\u00e5l, men i nyere tid brukes ogs\u00e5 jernrister i ovnene.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Sadam Hussein:<\/strong>\u00a0Sadam Hussein var Iraks diktator fra 16. juli 1979 til 9. april 2003, da han ble avsatt kort tid etter at Irak-krigen (20. mars 2003 - 15. desember 2011) br\u00f8t ut. Sadam Hussein ble henrettet ved henging 30. desember 2006 og begravet i sitt f\u00f8dested Al-Awja n\u00e6r Tikrit, ca. 2 km fra s\u00f8nnene Uday og Qusay Hussein.<\/p>\n

7. Krig:<\/strong>\u00a0Irak har v\u00e6rt involvert i en rekke kriger - blant annet mot Israel, Irak og USA - opp gjennom \u00e5rene. I tillegg har det v\u00e6rt flere interne kamper mellom arabere og kurdere i Irak, noe som har f\u00f8rt til at Kurdistan-regionen ble bekreftet i artikkel 113 i den irakiske grunnloven (som gir kurderne en st\u00f8rre grad av selvstyre).<\/p>\n

8. Nasjonalrett:<\/strong>\u00a0Iraks nasjonalrett er \"masgouf\" (eller masg\u00fbf), som er karpe krydret innvendig med marinade (olivenolje, salt, fjellsalt, tamarind og gurkemeie) og grillet p\u00e5 trepinner eller en jernrist. Total tilberedningstid er 1-3 timer avhengig av karpens st\u00f8rrelse (alt fettet b\u00f8r fjernes f\u00f8r servering). N\u00e5r karpen er fisk<\/a> er spr\u00f8 utenp\u00e5, legges den p\u00e5 et stort fat sammen med sitroner, l\u00f8kringer og sylteagurk. Deretter dekkes den med et flatbr\u00f8d for \u00e5 holde den varm frem til servering. Masg\u00fbf kan spores tilbake til antikken (ca. 500 f.Kr.).<\/p>\n

9. Flyktninger:<\/strong>\u00a0If\u00f8lge UNHCRs rapport fra 2010 var irakere den nest st\u00f8rste flyktninggruppen i verden med 1,8 millioner flyktninger, kun sl\u00e5tt av afghanere med 2,9 millioner flyktninger.<\/p>\n

10. Fjell:<\/strong>\u00a0I Irak dekker fjellene 20% av landet. De to st\u00f8rste fjellkjedene er Taurus (p\u00e5 grensen til Tyrkia) og Zagros (p\u00e5 grensen til Iran). Fjellene er de eneste omr\u00e5dene i Irak hvor det fortsatt finnes skog.<\/p>\n

Landet mellom de to ber\u00f8mte elvene Tigris (\u00f8verst) og Eufrat (nederst) er sv\u00e6rt fruktbart. Omr\u00e5det omtales i dag som \"menneskehetens vugge\", noe som betyr at det er et av stedene der en eller flere sivilisasjoner har vokst frem.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
