Salafism is a sect and sometimes an influential ideology just as all the other Islamic sects are. Some people claim to follow the "Alsalaf alsalih" while refusing to be named salafi, while others are just Sunnis from other sects ideologically influenced by the scholars of Salafism. For me, I...
Alqaeda/ nusra, IS, Boko haram, Abu sayaf, Taliban are all a result of salafization of Sunnis, do you imply that they are somehow good in any way?
And the salafist which do not support these groups usually support other extremest groups such as the various terrorist groups in Syria. You seem...
Actually the "IS" population were originally mostly Baathists who over the time turned into "Islamist jihadists" as alqaeda fighters started go flock into Iraq to fight off the post Saddam iraqi government. These same groups over the time turned from Baathist to Alqaeda to IS. The main reason...
IS conquer Baghdad :lol:. Baghdad has a population of 7+ million, including nearly 5 million shia. Do you think they IS will enter without resistance. As for getting close to Baghdad, the baghdad belt has always been control by terrorists, but they can't move towards Baghdad. Baghdad belt is...

@al-Hasani
I actually meant the society was too closely mixed from Baghdad and to the south. I personally have far relatives living in Baghdad, Kufa... So a shia state which excluded Baghdad is unlikely. Also the shia aren't giving up Samara or Diyala. Naturally the buffer zone includes...
Well it's complicated. Terrorism started targeting shia indiscrimately. In exchange some Shias started viewing the entire sunni population as the same. I could go with the "they started it" excuse but I think we are way passed that. We have to look for solutions not justifications.
Poverty was...
Don't forget, up until the Maliki was replaced this entire storm was seen as a "revolution". The media has for years been supporting these groups and making the public assume that they were right until things got real.
But again corruption was another major reason, Maliki left the everything...
^ for Mosuls the vast majority of the civilians are against IS.
Many cheered for them at the beginjng but now the city is dying slowly. The culture, history, traditions, way of life has flipped 180 degrees for maslawis.
