The shock in the wake of the outbreak of violent acts in Iraq and the fall of entire cities under the grip of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), as well as the emergence of different militant groups taking over territories in various cities, have upset the Iraqi scene. Perhaps the most dangerous part is the confusion that has accompanied the religious discourse of the two main sects in Iraq, the Sunnis and Shiites.
A war of fatwas and sermons has filled the Sunni and Shiite streets, mostly focusing on sectarian mobilization led by extremist clerics who have become part of the problem, instead of contributing to the solution.
