I was seeing on the news that the Islamic pressure is more and more intense in Iraq, everywhere there are 'groups' who strongly 'encourage' the population to follow Islamic rules more and more stictly (the previous regime was authoritarian, but Islamic rules were not especially enforced).
A very visual and characteristic change is that more and more women are now wearing the Islamic veil, that was quite rare under the previous regime, and that's now becoming the norm. I highly doubt that those women have freely decided to start covering their faces, they are being forced to, like what happened in Afghanistan when the talibans took power.
