With the invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition that toppled the government of Saddam Hussein in the year 2003 is the exact point where the Iraqi provinces fell to the hands of the terrorists. It was at that moment when the Shiite leader Al-Sayyid Ali Al-Husseini Al-Sistani formed an army called the popular crowd from all Iraqi Shiite provinces and they fought fighting the terrorists and freed the Sunni provinces of Iraq occupied by the terrorists.

Yes, the Arabs and America should stand with the popular crowd heroes because they are defending Iraq and the homeland. However the former Shia-dominated government of Nouri Maliki marginalize Iraq's Sunni community, creating conditions which helped the extremist Sunni ISIS come to prominence.

In September 2014, Mr Maliki stepped aside and a new Iraqi government was named. Ahl al-Sunnah left their areas with the support of the terrorists while the popular Shiite crowd liberated the Sunni areas and defeated terrorism and liberated the occupied areas. The popular crowd is different from Sunnis to Shiites. Iraq is seen indiscriminately.

Arab nations such as Egypt, Kuwait, and Oman joined Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon in signing a communique at a meeting in Jeddah that declared their shared commitment to stand united against the threat posed by all terrorism. Yet it is widely seen that Saudi Arabia supports terrorism and the Saudis are making their own self-sufficiency among the Muslims under the pretext of jihad and entering Paradise.
Praise be to Allah. The popular crowd liberated Ramadi, Falluja, Tikrit and Samarra, and drove them out. Thanks to the popular crowd, the liberated areas were liberated.

And the crowd is now fighting in Mosul and advancing the liberation of the regions and victory comes a few days after the efforts of the heroic popular crowd and martyrs who fell from the Shiites, it is a pride for us Shiites to defend Iraq and the Sunnah.
