  • i'm surprised the international community doesn't suggest "Balkanization" to split Iraq into 3 pieces. Kurdistan in the North, Sunni Iraq in the west, ...though, they probably don't like the idea of Iran annexing the eastern sunni parts...wait and see I guess.

  • first who said that the sunnis are a minorty??

    the kurds are sunnis, so with the arab sunnis, they make up over 60% of Iraqi people.

see all

  • @iqbal9458 Kurds are 90% Sunni.

  • because all of oil lays in SHIA ground in all over the islamic word, the US and Israil supporting SUNNI groups. even if shia are majority.. like Bahrein, Iraq untill Saddam.

    in Saudi-Arabia all the oilfields lay in shia habitat.

    sunni's can easiliy manipulatid+ violance. zionst israel know this!

  • @iqbal9458 60% Sunni (majority) and also only they are Nationalists, 30%=Shia (Zaza Kurds,Gorani-Kalhuri-Lak-Fayli­+Lur...= all southern Kurds as well) all these Shia (80%) of them= Betrayers especially the Southern shia Kurds+ Anti-Kurdistan and Pro-Slaveri by their masters (Iran and Turkey)

  • @xOxKurdParstxOx But who are Kurds Sunni Or Shia?????

  • @idricool actually we wouldnt be pıssed ıf Kurdıstan was made aslong as ıt doesnt take anyland from Modern day turkey

  • As long as there is a religious divide, things will continue to be violent and fractured. Shiites or Sunni or Kurds in power makes little difference since those not in power will not trust those in power. It is a cycle seen across the globe and throughout history.

    People are all the same physically...but the way we think is always different. That will never change.

  • You DIVIDED this beautiful Cultural Yoguslavia for NONETHING! for the sake of religion! Serbs+Bosnians+Macedonians (Fake)+Croats=SAME PEOPLE! so why don't you dIVIDE this Piece of shit Ir-q too? KURDISTAN will be authomaticly THE SECOND ISRAEL.
