But he doesn't speak arabic and nobody has ever heard him speaking in his entire life. This is what the arabs say not me. Also, the books he has written are not by him but rather his fathers with his name on the cover.

So if you have a video share it with us.

And how do those Arabs you've spoken to know he cannot speak Arabic?

I've already told you, there is only 2 videos of sistani and they are without sound, which just proves the point. He has no videos of him.

jj is there any reason why you would have interest in a guy who "opposes" Kurdish state!!???
No but remember Sistani is opposed to nation states as a whole. If he had it his way no nation would be allowed to form. He also wants Maliki and Assad to go. Generally speaking his an Apolitical religious leader and prefers not to get involved in politics.
Kurdistan isn't a nation state we have minorities... I can't stand him and his alike and he has shown his opposition to Kurdish state so showing support on KSS is disallowed.

This isn't an Iraq forum where we support claric leaders remember where you are.. If you support such people that's your choice we don't want to hear it on here heval.

As for The Turkmen & Arabs, they have not been already existed at the time.

Doesn't matter, the majority of Kurdistan is Kurdish. Also when you say that Kurdistan is not a nation state, you are claiming that a Kurdish nation doesn’t exist. Kurdish ethnicity is very distinguish from our neighbours, we do exist as 1 group of people, with the same DNA (heritage), language (Kurdic), history and culture.

when we do realize Great Kurdistan there will be a Kurdish NATION. And the whole world will recognie Kurds as a nation. Therefore Kurdistan will be considered as a nation state. A nation state with many other ethnic minorities. But all those minorities are going to have a Kurdish nationality.

So 1 Kurdish state + 1 Kurdish nationality = 1 Kurdish nation state

Iraq just received Su-24s from Russia. 2 arrived in Baghdad today, and will be operational and in the air in 1 week according to Maliki.

By the way, the picture in the article is of a Su-30MKI, not a Su-24 :P I have to admit the numbers in the article is written in a very unprofessional and chaotic way, almost impossible to interpret whether it says 34 or 24, but realistically Su-24 is much more likely (especially considering the fast delivery and expected time to get in the air. Iraq probably have pilots from former air force to fly them).

Seems like that news article was wrong.
Iraqi MoD says there is 5 Su-25s, and there is video confirmation of that.

Kurdish fighters step in to protect Iraq residents from ISIS

MAKTAB KHALED, Iraq — Kurdish flags ripple over a dusty checkpoint south of the oil city of Kirkuk, where soldiers deploy behind earthen mounds and sandbags.

This is the Kurds' front line against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the al-Qaida splinter group that has stormed across northern and western Iraq backed by Sunni militants.

Iraqi soldiers fled from the area as ISIS approached. A few discarded uniforms and helmets are scattered around freshly dug foxholes.

“Just past that bridge is ISIS,” said one young soldier in an older American army uniform and a yellow-and-black scarf, pointing about a mile away. Asked whether he fears the terrorist group, which is known for beheading captives, he replied: “No. I'm a peshmerga.”

Kurdish peshmerga — “those who face death” — have their own reputation as fierce fighters.

For more than a decade, they held back former dictator Saddam Hussein's army despite its superior numbers, tanks, helicopters and chemical weapons. During the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, the peshmerga fought alongside American forces.

Now they stand between ISIS and fellow Kurds, the non-Arab minority in a semi-autonomous portion of Iraq bordering Turkey and Iran.

Their gains on the battlefield could lead to Kurdish independence.

The Kurdish 1st Brigade has seized Kirkuk, a city that many Kurds refer to as “our Jerusalem.”

Kurds — divided among Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey by European powers after World War I — have longed for a separate state; some think Iraq's sectarian split could give them that chance.

Kurdish President Massoud Barzani told an interviewer last week that “the time is here” for Kurds “to determine their future.”

BACK-AND-FORTH BATTLE

“When Mosul fell to ISIS, our army went on red alert,” Col. Lateef Saber said in a prefab container that has been converted into an office.

ISIS, he said, has “no stable positions, just mobile units. ... It's a back-and-forth battle. They stay five kilometers (three miles) away. Then they attack us and run back.

“If we capture an ISIS fighter, we turn them over to a higher authority. If ISIS captures us, they will slaughter us.”

American-made Humvees with Iraqi army insignia, parked around the checkpoint, were seized from Iraqi troops by ISIS but recaptured by peshmerga, Saber said.

Behind him, an advertisement on a television set extolled the Iraqi army's prowess.

Saber, sitting in a spot that the army abandoned, acknowledged that the army “is powerful, and we know that.” But, he said, its soldiers “have no loyalty to the country. They had a lot of training and equipment from the Americans. If we had that, we would be much stronger.”

The idea of his men's fleeing is unthinkable.

“Saddam used chemical weapons on the Kurds, and we didn't retreat. And now you want us to retreat over a small group like ISIS?”

‘WE LIKE AMERICANS'

Headquartered in an abandoned railway station, 1st Brigade Gen. Sherko Fatih said he has lost men in “large battles” and is awaiting “the order to move against ISIS.”

The provincial governor and other officials asked for Kurdish protection, he said, when an Iraqi division of 17,000 soldiers fled after fighting ISIS for less than 30 minutes.

“I personally called the commander of that division to say, ‘Stay and fight side by side with us against the terrorists.' But they didn't answer my calls,” Fatih said.

“They don't have the spirit to fight against the terrorists. The smallest fight, and they collapse.”

In Kirkuk, “we aren't just defending the Kurds; we are defending Arabs and Turkmen, and the Assyrians and Chaldean Christians — anyone who is under our control,” he said.

That city, a mosaic of those religious and ethnic factions, is “100 percent safe” from ISIS, he assured. After a suicide bomber killed three people and wounded dozens there earlier in the week, more troops deployed there.

Many peshmerga are proud to have fought or deployed alongside American forces. The general fondly recalls Gens. Anthony Cucolo, Patrick Donahue and others with whom he served. Saber worked with U.S. special forces until they withdrew in 2010.

“Do the Americans like the Kurds?” one soldier asked. “We like the Americans.”

At the checkpoint, Saber walked onto the bridge to talk with approaching motorists about the situation on the ISIS-held side of the river. Some of his men watched from a sandbagged rail line.

“ISIS is putting explosives on the roads over there,” he said, pointing toward the town of Hawija, where gunfire is often heard. “All these villages have civilians, and we are defending them.”

As the sun faded on the horizon, he looked back at his dug-in troops.

“They don't sleep in the night,” he said. “Because this is our land, and we will defend it.”

Tikrit rebels 'push back Iraq army' - BBC

Iraq crisis: Fresh clashes over Tikrit

Iraqi government forces are continuing an offensive to retake the northern city of Tikrit from Sunni rebels.

Aircraft have struck at rebel positions and clashes have broken out in various parts of the city, witnesses and officials have said.

Troops had reportedly pulled back to the nearby town of Dijla as Saturday's initial offensive met stiff resistance.

The city of Tikrit was captured by Sunni rebels on 11 June as they swept across large parts of KRG.

"The security forces are advancing from different areas", Lt-Gen Qassem Atta told journalists. "There are ongoing clashes."

There was fighting in the northern Qadissiyah district, near the university where troops established a foothold in the city a few days ago, witnesses told the Associated Press.

An unnamed official also told the agency of clashes around an air base formerly used by the US military, Camp Speicher.

Improvised devices

Heavy fighting took place on Saturday between the Iraqi security forces and armed men from different factions controlling Tikrit, resulting in many casualties on both sides, eyewitnesses and journalists told the BBC.

Refugees have continued to pour into South Kurdistan in order to flee the fighting

Insurgents, led by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis), were reported to have shot down a helicopter and captured the pilot.

The witnesses said the Iraqi forces had been hampered in their bid to retake the city by the large number of improvised explosive devices laid on the approaches to the city.

But Lt-Gen Atta said that during Sunday's offensive many of the devices had been detonated.

Fear inside Tikrit

"We cannot live here another day. The entire night we have only heard bombs bursting all around the hospital" - Marina Jose, one of 46 stranded Indian nurses at a Tikrit teaching hospital, tells BBC

'No-one wants to stay here'

Meanwhile, Iraq said it had received the first batch of military jets ordered from Russia in order to help fight the militants.

The defence ministry said five Sukhoi aircraft would enter service in "three to four days".

Speaking to the BBC on Sunday, British Secretary of State William Hague called for political unity in Iraq to help fight what he called the "mortal threat" to the state.

"Security operations will only work with strong political support from all elements in Iraq" he said.

Mr Hague's intervention will add to the pressure on Iraq's leaders to form a national unity government, correspondents say.

It follows a call from Iraq's most influential Shia cleric Grand Ayatollah Sistani for a prime minister to be appointed by Tuesday - when the new parliament meets - to try to defuse the country's political crisis.

Prime Minister Nouri Maliki wants a third term, though correspondents say he is seen by many as having precipitated the crisis through sectarian policies that have pushed Iraq's Sunni minority into the hands of Isis extremists.

Iraq crisis: Isis changes name and declares its territories a new Islamic state with 'restoration of caliphate' in Middle East

Quote:
 
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) has reportedly declared the areas it occupies in Iraq and Syria as a new Islamic state, removing Iraq and the Levant from its name and ushering in “a new era of international jihad”.

The announcement will see the Isis now simply refer to itself as The Islamic State, and the group has called on al-Qa’ida and other related militant Sunni factions operating in the region to immediately pledge their allegiance.

According to Isis’s chief spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, the declaration of the “restoration of the caliphate” was made after a meeting of the group’s Shura Council. In recent weeks, Isis has captured large areas of western and KRG and for two years has held parts of Syria, imposing a harsh interpretation of Islamic law and in many cases, killing large numbers of opposition Shia Muslims.

Adnani said all jihadist organisations must now offer up their support to Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who has been declared Caliph of the new state.

Charles Lister, visiting fellow at the Qatar-based Brookings Doha Centre, said that the declaration signalled “massive trouble” regardless of the perceived legitimacy of the Isis group, adding that the next 24 hours will be “key”.

He told The Independent: “There hasn’t been a Caliph since the Ottoman Empire outside of the Ahmadiyya sect of Islam, and the Caliph is appointed as the only legitimate successor to Prophet Mohammed.”

“The fact that Isis has done this has huge ideological and theological implications and it is a big challenge to al-Qa’ida, their spokespeople may well try to reclaim their legitimacy.”

In the latest example of Isis’ sophisticated use of social media, Cooper said a new propaganda video released 15 minutes before the announcement included a “hint” towards what was about to come, with a Chilean foreign fighter describing Baghdadi as his “Caliph”.

“Everything that Isis has done has been very tactical with meticulous in planning,” he said.

“There will be a lot of criticism from people saying announcing the restoration of the caliphate is premature, but Isis have rapidly evolved over the past few years and there’s now a cult of personality about Baghdadi in Arabic social media.

“He is a very popular figure, and this will make people from al-Qa’ida and other groups question whether they should really be fighting for him.”

The news came as the Iraqi army was reportedly pushed back by rebel fighters protecting insurgent positions in the northern city of Tikrit today.

The military began its attempt to win back control of the city on Saturday, with a multi-pronged assault spearheaded by ground troops backed by tanks and helicopters.

Security officials said the army was coordinating the campaign with the US, but reports from the ground suggested it had been forced to pull back to the town of Dijla, 25km to the south, after a failed assault in which both sides suffered casualties.

Meanwhile, Iraqi officials said they had received delivery of the first Russian fighter jets it has bought second-hand to help stop the militants’ advance.

The five Russian Su-25 planes are expected to enter service in the next three to four days, with more of the planes understood to be arriving soon.

Iraqi air force commander Anwar Hama Amin said the military is “in urgent need of this type of aircraft during this difficult time”.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has blamed much of the rebels success on the Iraqi military’s lack of air support. The country signed contracts to buy F-16 jets from the USA, but has been slow in receiving them.

He said Iraq is also hoping to acquire second-hand fighter jets from Belarus. The deals are together thought to be worth about $500 million (£293m).

The UN says that more than 1,000 people, largely civilians, have been killed in fighting between Iraqi forces and the rebels.

The US has now deployed drones to the region around Tikrit, Saddam Hussein’s home town, though the White House said it has not yet authorised air strikes against militants and the drones will only be used for ‘force protection’.

Other countries including Iran are thought to have stationed military equipment and forces in the region.

hanan fatlawi: I worked as part of the ARTICLE 140 committee, and I managed to obstruct the implementation of the article while it was seemingly moving inexorably toward implementation for exactly 4 years.
