Religion in Jordan is a much more important Cultural issue than in the west. The Demographics Of Jordan show that about 90% of Jordanians are Sunni Muslims and 2% are Shia Muslims . Christians make up 7% of Jordan population, varying among Greek Orthodox , Catholics , Coptics , etc and 2% other. DISTRIBUTION The percentages vary slightly in different cities and regions, for instance the south of Jordan and cities like Zarka have the highest percentage of Muslims, while Amman , Madaba , Salt , and Kerak have larger Christian communities than the national average, and the city of Fuhais is Christian. SOCIAL LIFE In general, Muslims and Christians live together with no major problems regarding differences and discrimination. While some families may privately have a point of view against a certain religious group, it does not often take a public shape. Some recent controversy has taken place regarding the difficulty of Christians fleeing Iraq to gain citizenship or refugee status. SEE ALSO |
