Hello AndrewRT,

I have read your comment on the information I have corrected in your Encyclopedia. The truth is what I have put down, not what came to be propogated during and after the American and British invasion and occupation of Iraq. At least, read in your Encyclopedia about the Safavids before whom nothing was of historical importance about Shiism as a sect or as a movement. According to this Encyclopedia, all this dates back to the late eighteenth century. The question is how would the Shiites make a majority in less than three hundred years in a society which was and still is Sunni. Islam is not Shiism. Iraq was opened more than 14 centuries ago, and that original version of Islam was NOT Shiism. You can also go back to the period before the invasion to see how your historians politicians and writers treated this. President Bush Sr. used, for example, to accuse the previous regime of oppressing the MINORITY SHIITES in SOUTHERN IRAQ and minority Kurds in the North. A little more than two months before the invasion, a British university professor (Marc Weller, Lecturer in International Law at the Centre of International Studies, University of Cambridge), wrote about the "Illegality" of action against Iraq and mentions this: ((... Since 1991, the US and UK have forcibly kept northern and southern Iraq free of Saddam's air-force to ensure that threatened Kurdish and Shiite minority populations will not be subjected to an attack by the Baghdad government....)).. Many others in US and UK wrote similar things. But I think the invasion and occupation enterprise prompt many to change historical facts even as the period talked about is still going on and we are still alive.

Thanks for your patience.

Regards

Shanashil
