Is the Iraqi Government Sunni or Shiite?

Answer 1

He was a secularist actually. He believed that the State was more important than Islam per se. However, he was considered to be a Sunni Muslim since he came from a Sunni family.

He was Sunni but he didn't care about religion, he believed about politics not religion.

Answer 2

The President of Iraq, Jalal Talabani is a Sunni Muslim Kurd.

However, in Iraq, the Prime Minister is the person with actual power and authority. Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki is a Shiite Muslim Arab.

Answer 3

Answer 1

Yes, Saddam came from a Sunni family but he was not a true Muslim. The Rulers hardly have any religion or Faith. Their Faith is Power. No Muslim (Sunni or Shia etc) is permitted by Allah Almighty to kill any Human being without a just cause. Killing an innocent human being (irrespective of his caste, creed, color, religion) is like killing the whole humanity. This is what Allah Almighty says in the Qur'an. Thus the Rulers kill for their Power, not religion.

We may label ourselves a Muslim, a Christian a Jew or any other Religion, at heart only a few people are religious in true spirit. Those who claim to be religious minded must serve all human beings, irrespective of their caste, creed or color. Hypocrisy rules people. Had the Christian Kings and Emperors been true followers of Hazrat Jesus Christ (May peace be upon him)?

Answer 2

Yes, Saddam was Sunni Muslim. Although I don't agree on many actions of Saddam Hussein, but I should remind every Muslim that he/she has no right to accuse anyone that he/she is not true Muslim. This is judged by God only.

Answer 4

he is a Shiite as the Iranian system allows no one but the Shiites to control such important positions in the state (http://www.iranfocus.com/en/special-wire/Iran-s-ahmadinejad-sharon-dead-and-others-to-follow-suit-05166.html ,will assure u that)

Answer 5

Answer 1

Shiite.

Muslims in world are near 80% Sunni and near 20% Shia. researchers have counted up to 260 sect for Islam that they all belong to categories Sunni and Shia. the main category of Shia is Twelver Shia and other sects of Shia are nearly extinct.

There are at least 300,000,000 Shia Muslims in world, but there is no clear statistic. Shias always have been controlled and killed during history and so usually they hide their beliefs. all 12 Imams of Shia have been killed or spent their life in prison by Omayyads and Abbasids.

Answer 2

It's rather complex. Iraq's current government is not divided by religions in the same way as other Middle Eastern government. Although the Prime Minister of Iraq and the majority of Parliament are Shia, it is not a purely Shia government like Syria currently has. It is also not a religiously divided government like Lebanon has. The only requirement for government is that the President is Kurdish (and this usually means that he is a Sunni Muslim). The leading coalition is made up Shia who are religious to different degrees (and represent these differences in their political parties).
