Iraq’s Grand Mufti accuses IRGC, Iraqi government, Shiite militias of genocide and rape of Sunnis they 'liberated' from ISIS
In an explosive TV interview aired last week, Iraq’s Grand Mufti Rafi Al-Rifa’i, the highest Sunni authority in the country, accused the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Iraqi government, and Iraqi Shiite militias of mass genocidal killings and rape of Sunni men and women from Iraqi towns and villages “liberated” from ISIS (Islamic State).
Mufti Al-Rifa’i posed the unanswerable question, “Why should we fight ISIS? So the Iranian IRGC can take over? The same Iranian IRGC that is running operations in Iraq?”
Mufti Al-Rifa’i is the religious leader of roughly eight million Sunni Muslims who live in the western parts of Iraq. Overall, about 22 million Sunni Muslims live in eastern Syria and Western Iraq. They are the current target of ISIS – and also, it turns out, of the Iranian IRGC.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is the key Iranian governmental army. Unlike the regular Iranian Army or “artesh,” which is tasked with the military duties of defending Iran's borders and maintaining internal order – according to the Iranian constitution, the Iran Revolutionary Guard or “pasdaran” is empowered to carry out special forces, military intelligence, and overseas military/intelligence operations.
The IRGC is officially recognized as a direct component of the Iranian military under Article 150 of the Iranian Constitution. Therefore, its actions and possible war-crimes are the direct actions and direct responsibility of the Iranian government itself.
In a tragic retelling, the Sunni Mufti Al-Rifa’i described that when the Iraqi Sunni town Jurf al-Sakhar was “liberated,” the men are immediately separated from the women and children after which “nobody knows what happened to the men,” intimating that they were immediately mass-murdered.

This is entirely the doing of Zero's, Lurch's, and Plugs' new ally, the Iranian mullahcracy. Thanks Dave346.
You’re welcome. I remember for years during the Iraq war when it was the Shiite militias and Muqtada al-Sadr who was enemy #1 in the country.
The policies of aiding and abetting the Iranian takeover of Iraq is insane, but it’s what we’ve come to expect now after 6 years of this regime.
Thanks, I guess it is on! God Protect Christians and other parties.
The ‘80s Iraq/Iran war killed a million I believe, Saddam in part, gassing Kurds took as many as 100,000 or more. So that area definitely had major problems.
Sounds like the usual muslim on muslim cruelty. First one side does something, and then the other responds in kind, eye for eye and tooth for tooth and life for life.
The problem was, troops should have been used to clear whatever necessary, find Saddam, set up a new gubmint, and after he was hanged, leave, or better yet, head west from Iraq and south from Afghanistan and obliterate the mullahs. Ah well.

The $700 million a month we’re sending to Iran for not agreeing to anything except to an extension to the period during which they’ll accept the $700 million a month, is the reason that Iran won’t be as harmed by the oil glut as, say, Russia. Iran’s biggest foreign market for its non-oil goods (and Iran makes stuff besides oil and sweat, unlike, say, Saudi Arabia) appears to be, surprise surprise, Iraq.
