IRAQ-RELIOGION-SABEANS
A Mandean man, known in Arabic as Sabean, slaughters a duck as he takes part in the 'great feast' or the Mandaean new year, according to the Sabian calender in Baghdad, on July 19, 2010, as Iraq's 100,000-strong sect practice their Gnostic religion along the banks of the Tigris River after they were driven out of Jordan and settled in southern and central Iraq around AD 67. They speak a distinct language, Mandean, and their religious books are written in Sabaen script. AFP PHOTO/AHMAD AL-RUBAYE
