Iraqi Trivia - Some Do's and Don'ts of Iraq
[b]* Don't use your left hand for contact with others, eating or gestures. It is considered unclean.
* Don't point with your fingers. It is a sign of contempt. Instead, point with your whole hand.
* Don't ask for a single opinion on an issue, as Iraqis often first reply with the answers they think you want to hear, rather than an honest response
* Don't slouch, lean, or appear disinterested when conversing with an Iraqi man. Don't expose the soles of your feat or shoes.
* Don't back away from an Iraqi during conversation. Close personal interaction is customary and distance is considered rude.
* Don't offer a muslim food or drink or consume either publicly during Ramadan. Never offer a Muslim alcohol or pork.
* Don't engage in religious discussions.
* Don't make the "OK" or "Thumbs Up" sign; they are considered obscene.
* Don't praise an Iraqi's possessions too much, he may give them to you and expect someting of equal value in return. [/b]

So the one statement ---* Don't ask for a single opinion on an issue, as Iraqis often first reply with the answers they think you want to hear, rather than an honest response I guess that is why all their articles conflict.
