The remaining are Shias in the population.]]> 2018-03-02 18:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/wilderm20/8p2gzzch0bw3/wish/237552384 wilderm20 https://padlet.com/wilderm20/8p2gzzch0bw3/wish/237553504 2018-03-02 18:49:08 UTC https://padlet.com/wilderm20/8p2gzzch0bw3/wish/237553504 wilderm20 https://padlet.com/wilderm20/8p2gzzch0bw3/wish/238237508 2018-03-05 17:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/wilderm20/8p2gzzch0bw3/wish/238237508 wilderm20 https://padlet.com/wilderm20/8p2gzzch0bw3/wish/238243060 2018-03-05 17:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/wilderm20/8p2gzzch0bw3/wish/238243060 wilderm20 https://padlet.com/wilderm20/8p2gzzch0bw3/wish/238312697 Since we've talked about the food and tradition, I thought you would like to know some facts.
