Not really.

You're dealing with a society that was secular under Hussein, but given its
druthers would rather be a Muslim theocracy than almost anything else. Many of
these people feel that measuring the popular sentiment or will with a vote is a
meaningless exercise, as all of society should be organized according to the
will of God as interpreted by the Koran and the local holymen.
