Iraqis Immigrating to Sweden

The main reason Iraqis are immigrating to Sweden is because of all the violence in their country. Now they currently have 22,200 Iraqis living in Sweden. One reason for Iraqis to move to Sweden is for more freedom and a cooler climate.

Iraq has a lot of deserts and is very very hot who while Sweden doesn't have that much to look at it is cold most of the time so that would be a very hard change. There are some huge changes that they will have to make like languages and culture. One challenge would be that they eat a lot of pork in Sweden and they aren't aloud to eat pork at all.

In Sweden they might listen to way different music than in Iraq because their cultures are completely different and so are their languages. In Iraq religion is very strict women have to were a robe with a veil and men have to were a robe when they are at church or anywhere it is inappropriate to not have your religious clothes on. Otherwise in Sweden religion isn't that strict at all they don't have to where any certain kind of clothing at all. Languages in both places are entirely different. In Iraq they speak Arabic mainly and in Sweden they mainly speak Swedish. In Iraq they can't eat pork at all in Sweden they will eat it whenever this is going to have to be a big change by Iraqis.

Women roles in Iraq are to take care of the kids and the house when the men go out and do everything else. Sometimes if a woman doesn't where her veil when she is walking on the streets sometimes men will throw acid on them and they will get severe burns. If they move to Sweden their kids might want to dress like the Sweden kids and go to dances and do all that fun stuff but if a girl goes dancing say the father will tell their son to go shoot her.

In Iraq they are very conservative and in Sweden they are pretty liberal. The reason for Iraq to be so conservative is because they are humble and shy. If they move to Sweden they will have to be more liberal because in Iraq they don't want to draw any attention to themselves but when people in Sweden see their veils and robes they will have a lot of attention on themselves.
