The Sadrist Movement is a political movement in Iraq. The most important person in setting the goals and the philosophy of the movement was Mohammad Mohammad Sadeq al-Sadr. A prominent preceding influence had also been Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr. The movement is religious and populist. Its goal is a society ordered by a combination of religious laws and tribal customs. It also espouses Iraqi nationalism.
The Sadrist movement draws most of its support from the Shia poor in the country. Currently most Sadrists follow Muqtada al-Sadr, but there is also a smaller, rival branch gathered around the Islamic Virtue Party.
