my point is even the iranians who hate mullahs hate MEK while some of our donkeys glorify Badr, dawah, barzani and talabani even though they were fighting against iraq as a country and not against saddam as regime. our people lack nationalism.
Mainly a minority (loud) of religious Iraqi Shia Arabs who mainly gained power after 2003, lack that. If Iraqi Sunni Arabs were fifth columns like those pathetic lot have been accusing since 2003, half of Iraq would long ago have separated.
Sad to say it but since Iraqi Sunni Arabs have shaped almost every institution of Iraq since its inception (modern), military, politics, state institutions etc. they have the highest degree of patriotism. The Iraqi Shia Arab masses in the South were always less influential in terms of ruling/politics and were/are on average poorer to this day. Hence much more influenced by religious clerics/militias etc.
Shia Islam itself encourages blind following of religious authorities, hence the importance of hierarchy, ancestry, clerical titles etc.
Of course there are exceptions but in general that is the case.
For instance can you mention a single Iraqi Sunni Arab cleric that is blindly/has a huge following among Iraqi Sunni Arabs? Not a single one exist.
Almost all Iraqi Shia Arab dominated political parties are Shia Islamist in nature. How many Iraqi Sunni Arab political parties are dominated by religion? For instance the largest political Sunni Arab organization in the Arab world (MB) barely has any following among Iraqi Sunni Arabs.
But anyway, if you state such facts, simpletons accuse you of sectarianism.
Remove Wilayat al-Faqih Shia Islam from Iraq and Iranian influence will be reduced to 0, just like you see in the Iraqi Sunni Arab heartlands which are indeed the swords of Arabism against that entity (historically) in the region and must be admired and supported always lol.
