and that was a big mistake the shia in the south were kept backward and isolated that's how they became puppets in their clerics hands.
mohsin al hakim the grandfather of ammar the cuck gave fatwa to kill communists this fatwa lead to the rise of Baath and the islamists because most of the communists were from the educated shias of the south with them gone it opened the door to islamists and the cleric thieves to take the shia population hostage since the shia loyalty was still divided between the tribe and the religion and natioalism was week among them unlike sunnis who were educated in europe, istanbul, beirut, cairo, damascus and aleppo who were exposed to nationalism and modernizations.
Yes, indeed. To this day the Iraqi Shia Arab political elite (Islamist version) wants to keep their people and region backward economically, politically and development wise so they can retain their hold on the society. Religion is a business for them. All those Shia clerics have their own blind followers, militias who operate like mafias. They kill critics etc. that is why you often hear about assassinations within them. Those are internal power fights.
Look at the monkey like Al-Sadr and how many followers he has. Just because of his name. I say that despite him not being hostile against KSA. It is just a fact. He has millions of blind followers while he is barely literate.
Yes, the reason why communism was popular among Iraqi Shia Arabs was because it went against all the traditions of Shia Islam and because it wanted to end the hierarchical system of the South. That is why largely the educated Shias voted for communist parties and were mostly secular.
Yes, indeed, this is also a part of the Ottoman legacy which preferred Sunnis to remain in power so not really the fault of Iraqi Shia Arabs.
Many of the Iraqi Shia Arabs were also tribes and clans who were escaping infighting/lost wars in what is modern-day KSA and later found sanctity in Southern Iraq and to further integrate they adopted Shia Islam which was prevalent in and around Karbala and Najaf.
As usual the most accomplished Iraqi historian, Ali Al-Wardi, is to be studied to understand the historical dynamics more and to understand why things are like they are today.
