What do you need the handgun for? Once I tie the girl down with duct tape, I probably won't need the viagra either.

Noor Al Maliki should seriously resign.

He has taken too much advantage of Shi'aat sect for personal/Iranian interest, I don't see him less oppressive or cruel than Saddam Hussain in some way. He's applying the Iranian path political approach and he's basically doing their dirty work in too many cities.

This is extremely exaggerated. And whether we like it or not, if there's anybody who can calm the things down in Iraq it's Iran.

whats odd here is i always saw shia iraqis as being closer to sunni iraqis than their ideological brothers in iran. And i would not be surprised if this sunni resurgence is the work of israel/usa to get iran to negotiate, the status quo is game over for israel with syria lebanon and iraq pro Iran.

Maliki has treated his army the same way Saddam has which is one of the reasons Iraq is worse than ever. Saddam favored Sunni by handing them limitless power and positions from army to governments and now Maliki is no different by doing the same thing with Shi'aa claiming power and positions which is resulting into sectarian violence we are now seeing.

In Iraq it's the sects struggling for power and when a President favors his sect over the other than he is seeking blood maybe not as brutal as Saddam, but the result is one if you ask me.

As for Iran's role, I agree, and this is the sad part actually, they can calm things there as much as they can create chaos, that's what they have been doing for few years now alongside Bashar. No wonder why Al Qaeda/Da'ash/Nasra never made an attempt on Iran, not a single try actually, which makes me think that Iran somehow are also in-control of those groups some way.

Noob question. Is there a huge difference in population percentages between the Sunnis and the Shias in Iraq like in countries such as Syria and Bahrain?

I doubt most people even know the actual rift between Sunni and Shia, including the Sunni's and Shia's themselves who raise arms against each other.

It's so freaking sad.

I'd like to know what people from the middle east, or muslims think about whats happening now in iraq.

Isis, the islamic state in iraq and syria is making quick progress, but are strickly conservative and want to implement the sharia where they conquer.
Truth be told, its going so quick because they are sunnites, the majority are sunnites, whilst the goverment in bagdad are shiites, wich they dont like.

I dont like this personally. It gives the bad image that islam is out there to go and conquer the world and impose their fundamentalism upon the world. Whilst the gigantic majority are just muslims, who practive their believes, and can perfectly co-exist with other religions or atheists without wanting to impose their own state.

I'd like to know muslim opinions on this, widen my views, see if i'm missing something
I hate it when the word "Islamic fundamentalism" is used...to me that refers to Muslims who follow the fundamentals. The Islam that Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Taliban, Al Shabab, or whatever present is faaaaaaaaar from the fundamentals of Islam.
