RCD Discusses the Role of the Sunni Component in Iraq after 2003
Dr. Siddiq presented in his lecture a chronological analysis of the evolution of the political process in Iraq after 2003 and how other Iraqi components dealt with change, speaking about a set of features and differences that characterized the Sunni component from other ones in dealing with the new democracy. The advisor of the head of the Sunni Endowment also talked about series of steps and reforms that must be taken to avoid repeating the mistakes of the previous stage, such as rewriting reformulating the religious discourse, reconsidering the religious curriculum and history taught in Iraqi mosques and schools as well as thinking seriously about re-merge the Sunni and Shiite endowments under one name.
For their part, the participants put forward a series of ideas and initiatives, providing meaningful and constructive criticism of some of the practices and behaviors of many parties involved in the new political process.
