التاريخ
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Saddam Hussein exiled between 350,000[4][5][3] to 650,000 Iraqi citizens of Iranian ancestry.[1] Most of them went to Iran. Most could prove an Iranian ancestry in Iran's court received Iranian citizenship (400,000) and some of them returned to Iraq immediately after his fall.[1] The population of Iraqis of Iranian descent is currently 486,000[citation needed] (not including Iranian residents in Iraq).
Culture
Most Feiyli Iraqis belong to Twelver Shīʿa Islam, the same religious sect that most Iraqis and Iranis belong to.[3]
While the Iraq side of Kurds on the other hand follow mostly Sunni Islam.
