Strictly Iraqi: Neither Sunnis nor Shiites

A Group of Intellectual Iraqis to "Respect" both doctrines and announce innocence of its more than 1000 year blood, and state a "Strictly Iraqis" one instead..

A group of cultural and intellectual Iraqis had announced a respectful un-belonging to either doctrines of Sunnis and Shiites days ago describing more than one thousand years' conflict and blood sheds between Sunnis and Shiites as an "absurd" war that repeats itself over and over again and merely means nothing.
The announcement came through Iraqi poet and writer Ahmad Abdulhusein and published by news papers such as Shaafaq News and social networks through Facebook saying: "We are a group of Iraqi citizens, and nothing would gather us and make us stick together other than love to Iraq and the wish to live in our beloved country in peace. With anxious watching eyes, we observe what is happening lately that put Iraq on a dangerous edge of another doctrine and civil war".
This intellectual arising came following the intense situation in Anbar Province of west bank of Iraq, where Iraqi Force's tanks spread around the demonstration sit-in park getting ready to strike people gathering to protest since more than 200 days, and following severe contradicted reflected one in Hawijah when innocence people where hit by SWAT special Iraqi Forces preventing them from protesting to further join main tribal groups.
"We belong to neither of those two doctrines.. We are innocent of a believe used in the past and still is used as a war weapon to kill and rupture homelands" said Abdulhussein revealing his and his group's wish to further legal claims instead of civil war in order to maintain Iraqis' rights, and claimed for groups' legal entitlement to identify them as "un-belonging" one to either of Sunni or Shiite doctrines.
Such claim would definitely demand secure and protection from Iraqi authorities to live in humanitarian atmospheres where Iraqis beloved ones would never get killed because of their believes and principles; and where religion is understood as to serve mankind, not the vice.
