They are mostly muslim, but they insist on calling them sheit and sudanese (not sure about the spelling). They are all iraqi's, why do they need to be devided up, Im sure that there are good and bad on both sides of the religion.

This has been the problems with ARabs for ages. Look at what happened with Lawrence of Arabia, a true story.
The ONLY unification factors have been ZIONISM and OIL.
Those are the ONLY two things ALL ARABS can agree on.
Everything else is "tribal" or "religious" or "secular" or "personal belief"
I will go this far, they have MOST of the world beat, because they CAN agree on TWO things.
THe rest of the world can't agree on anything in UNISON.
If anything we should examine this ONE unifiying Islamic "thing" Anti-Zionism. It is a FOCUS point.
They ARE NOT anti-Jewish. They are not anti-semetic, especially since about 1/3 the world of Islam is semetic. They are anti-Zionist or, if you will, Anti-Israel. It is a FOCAL POINT that the REST of the world does not have, because the rest of the world is to PC and we ALLOW them to have this focal point.
Why?
The second focus point.
The Oil.
About HALF of the World's oil is controled by Islam.
On the DAY the World doesn't need oil or the oil runs out, the world will start calling Islamics "un-PC" for their views on Zionism.
Right now, we let them get away with it.
Everyone, right now, get the Fed-Ex International book and read the RESTRICTIONS of sending goods into EVERY ISLAMIC NATION in the world.
NO goods from ISrael are allowed in ANY Islamic nation.
There is NOT a single ISlamic Nation that ALLOWS you to send or receive something "Made in Israel" in their country. And Fed Ex, UPS, Airborne ALL enforce this.
Israel is to them, what Cuba is to us.
And Most of the World has problems with us over Cuba.
But NO ONE has problems with them over Israel, except Israel.

Think of it this way: the US used to be divided like that too. Irish were met with hostileness because they were not the same religion as the people in the US. And if you go in school in the us today and ask people there religion, people will insult you if you are atheist (Used only as an example many will be insulted). So this like a more extreme case, that or we do a good job of hiding this fact in the US.

Because ignorant people fear Islam. Iraq does have some Christians -- mostly Chaldean Catholics. The Kurds in the northern part of Iraq are not Arabs. Iraq also has a fair amount of Jews.

Why do Christians have to be defined by their religion? How many Christians in the U.S. do you think would vote for a non-Christian? Think about it.
