It is no longer a Secular Nation but certainly was at the time. Saddam was very brutal when it came to religion. He would not tolerate any religion trying to dictate behavior.. Women in Iraq were educated and dressed in Western attire. They held positions of power within the government and also within society in general. Iraq was in no way a religious war. Afghanistan is a different matter though as is Iran....
