She had no idea who they were but complied because she feared for her life.</p> <p>"Can you just tell me who will pay the rent of my shop for these two months? What shall I do to support my family? What is the relation between hair dressing and religious events?" Zubaidi, 40, asked furiously.</p> <p>"This is a new dictatorship. They want Iraq to be an Islamic state. But this is not right. Iraq includes a variety of religious factions … These are alien ideas, not Iraqi."</p> <p>Recent efforts by authorities, clergy and unknown bands of neighborhood enforcers to police morals by shutting nightclubs, bars and other establishments has heightened concerns among academics and intellectuals that Iraq, now emerging from war, is displaying the tendencies of a hard-line Islamic state.</p> <p>Baghdad’s local government this month re-activated a federal order from last year to close down the capital’s nightclubs and liquor shops due to concern the venues were undermining morals.</p> <p>Last week, anti-American Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr issued a strongly worded statement calling for Iraqis to take a stand against "corruption, intoxication and addiction."</p> <p>The crackdown in Baghdad was preceded by similar actions in some Shi’ite-majority provinces in the south.</p> <p>"What is going on are normal consequences when religious parties take over power. They start with such practices, and end the way the Taliban in Afghanistan ended, or other parties in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://www.reuters.com/places/iran" class="external" target="_blank">Iran</a>," Baghdad political analyst Hazim al-Nuaimi said.</p> <p>In September, local authorities in Babil province prevented an arts festival that has been held yearly since before 2003. Security forces told organizers a day after the festival started to end it because it included dance shows.</p> <p>In the southern city of Basra, the government shut down a foreign circus a few days after it opened last month. It was the first circus the province had hosted in decades.</p> <p>Basra authorities said the government department of Shi’ite endowments held that the land on which the circus was set up could not be used in a way that violated Islamic Sharia law.</p> <p>The new measures sparked protests by some Iraqis who said the government is trying to kill freedom more than seven years after the U.S.-led invasion that ousted Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein and paved the way for majority Shi’ites to take power.</p> <p>RADICAL CONCEPTS</p> <p>"What is going on, in fact, is an attempt to impose the radical concepts of the Islamic fundamentalist parties who dominate the political scene in Iraq…that’s what we are afraid of," said Qasim Mohammed, a journalist who protested with dozens of others in Baghdad’s main square Sunday.</p> <p>Kamel al-Zaidi, head of the Baghdad provincial council, described the protesters in televised comments as "paid people who want to turn Iraq into a community of atheists."</p> <p>But the crackdown, alongside a series of attacks on Iraq’s minority Christian community, raised questions about freedom of religion and expression in mainly Muslim Iraq.</p> <p>In the worst of the attacks, dozens died after Sunni insurgents took hostages at a Baghdad cathedral on October 31. Hundreds of Christian families have since fled for the relative safety of the Kurdish north, and abroad.</p> <p>During Friday prayers last week, many Shi’ite clerics supported the Baghdad provincial council and called on the government to show more determination.</p> <p>"The decision of the government and the provincial council is right," said Sadr al Din al Qubanchi, a prominent cleric in the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, a Shi’ite political bloc.</p> <p>"Those who condemn it must realize that the Iraqi identity is Islamic, and the government is responsible for practicing this identity," said Qubanchi in a speech in the Shi’ite holy city of Najaf.</p> <p>Sabbar al-Saeidi, the head of the legal committee of the Baghdad provincial council, defended the new measures.</p> <p>"The measures are aimed at fighting anything against moral and public discipline, whether it is a circus or not," Saeidi said.</p> <p>Overt and illegal acts of religious intimidation may have been worse three years ago, when Shi’ite militias and Sunni insurgents roamed Iraq freely.</p> <p>Now, bands of loosely organised, unknown men are carrying out threats quietly against liquor shops, schools and other establishments, and with groups like Sadr’s movement claiming a share of political power, critics say the government is closing its eyes to the intimidation.</p> <p>NAKED STATUES</p> <p>Residents of Baghdad’s mainly Shi’ite Shaab district say many alcohol shops have been attacked in recent weeks.</p> <p>At a government-run fine arts institute in Baghdad, unknown men showed up this week and ordered the removal of all statues from the yard, an official of the facility said.</p> <p>They said "it is not good to show such statues. Some of them are naked," said the official, who asked not to be named because he feared for his safety.</p> <p>The music program at the school was shut down. Students are not allowed to wear short skirts, short sleeve shirts or makeup, according to a female student.</p> <p>"(A school official) told us it is Haram (forbidden). Some teachers consider any girl who does this as absent," she said. "A top official once put an X on my classmate’s leg as she was wearing a short skirt."</p> <p>Protesters on both sides have taken to the streets. On Friday hundreds responded to Sadr’s call.</p> <p>"Stand against those who want to disseminate corruption, intoxication, and addiction (to alcohol), to make Iraq drift toward ignorance, degeneration, lewdness, to make our society rot like the West," Sadr said in his statement.</p> <p>Political analysts said the coming era could see an escalation of intimidation as Sadr’s fundamentalist religious movement plays a larger role in government.</p> <p>Sadr won 39 seats in a March parliamentary election and then pledged support for incumbent Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a key step in an agreement between political blocs that end a months-long political impasse.</p> <p>"What is going on is a new tendency of a new culture that wants to take us backward," said Haider Munaathar, a well-known actor and head of Iraq’s theater union. "We must not keep silent toward those who want Iraq to wear a robe of their choosing."</p> <p>(Editing by Jim Loney and Samia Nakhoul)</p> <ul></ul> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6BE30N20101215?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:%20reuters/worldNews%20%28News%20/%20US%20/%20International%29" class="external" target="_blank">Is free Iraq becoming a more Islamic state? | Reuters</a></p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-8817"> <div class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/2010/02/25/sadrists-reject-iraq-oil-deals/#respond" title="Comment on Sadrists reject Iraq oil deals">No Comments</a></span> Posted on February 25th, 2010 by Nur Hussein Ghazali</div> <h3><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/2010/02/25/sadrists-reject-iraq-oil-deals/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Sadrists reject Iraq oil deals">Sadrists reject Iraq oil deals</a></h3> <p class="postmetadata">Category: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/category/english-articles/" title="View all posts in English Language Articles" rel="category tag">English Language Articles</a>, Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/dawa-party/" rel="tag">Dawa Party</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/hazim-al-araji/" rel="tag">Hazim al-Araji</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/ina-coalition/" rel="tag">INA Coalition</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/isci-sciri/" rel="tag">ISCI (SCIRI)</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/kuwait-times/" rel="tag">Kuwait Times</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/maliki-nouri-al/" rel="tag">Maliki - Nouri al-</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/muqtada-al-sadr/" rel="tag">Muqtada al-Sadr</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/oil-contracts/" rel="tag">oil contracts</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/oil-development-rights/" rel="tag">oil development rights</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/reuters/" rel="tag">Reuters</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/sadrist-bloc/" rel="tag">Sadrist Bloc</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/sadrist-electoral-campaign/" rel="tag">Sadrist electoral campaign</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/sadrist-movement/" rel="tag">Sadrist movement</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/sadrist-political-coalitions/" rel="tag">Sadrist Political Coalitions</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/sadrist-resistance-units/" rel="tag">Sadrist Resistance units</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/siic-formerly-sciri/" rel="tag">SIIC (Formerly SCIRI)</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/%d8%ad%d8%b1%d9%83%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b5%d8%af%d8%b1/" rel="tag">حركة الصدر</a></p> <div class="entry" dir="rtl" align="right"> <p>BAGHDAD: A powerful political group contesting Iraq’s parliamentary vote next month says it may <a title="Hazim_al-Araji" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://www.flickr.com/photos/27086036@N02/4386500203/" class="external" target="_blank"><img style="display: inline; margin: 5px 0px 5px 15px" alt="Hazim_al-Araji" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320im_/http://static.flickr.com/4016/4386500203_c75cff5c18.jpg" align="right" border="0"/></a>challenge the validity of multi-billion-dollar oil deals the country has signed with foreign firms. Hazim Al-Araji, a senior member of Shiite cleric Moqtada Al-Sadr’s political movement, also intends to oppose the return in the next government of incumbent prime minister and poll candidate Nuri Al-Maliki, under whom the deals were signed. </p> <p>There were great mistakes. The people in Maliki’s government are politicians and not technocrats, and are working in the interest of their party… The contracts were between companies and a party, and not between companies and a state," Araji said in an interview. He gave no details of what measures his faction may take to alter the deals, signed with firms such as BP and Royal Dutch Shell in two auctions for bids to develop lucrative Iraqi oilfields last year. Ten contracts were awarded. The Sadrists are a key player in a Shiite-led coalition taking part in the March 7 national vote, and are likely to be influential in Iraq’s next parliament, if not in government. </p> <p>Analysts have said Iraq’s next leaders are unlikely to challenge the oil deals, given that they were signed with an unusually high level of transparency for the Middle East, and because the terms are weighted in Baghdad’s favor. Iraq, which has the world’s third-largest oil reserves, is keen to boost output to fund reconstruction after years of war. The Sadrist movement has wide support, mostly among the Shiite poor in the oil-producing south and deprived urban areas such as Baghdad’s Sadr City slum. </p> <h3>NEW PRIME MINISTER?</h3> <p>As a result of party negotiations, the movement will occupy at least a quarter of any seats won by the Iraqi National Alliance (INA), an election coalition led by the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (ISCI), a powerful Shiite party. The two groups have sparred in the past, but now appear united in their desire to diminish Maliki’s power. Maliki, the Sadrists and ISCI were once allies in parliament’s largest bloc. </p> <p>Maliki is contesting the March election as head of the State of Law coalition, and is not expected to do well enough to cling to power without building alliances with other groups, a process that could take months and leave a power vacuum in Iraq. A Sadrist wish to see Maliki removed from office could complicate and draw out negotiations. "We are advancing towards change, and that means a change of government and prime minister. We have no problem with Nuri Al-Maliki as a person, but we have a problem withhis program and his actions," Araji said. </p> <p>In 2008, Maliki launched crackdowns on Sadr’s Mehdi Army militia, which once controlled parts of southern Iraq and Baghdad. For the most part, militiamen have been ordered to lay down their arms, but Araji said the militia was not disbanded. Statements from Sadr in the last two years had indicated his desire to shift his followers’ efforts from armed struggle to cultural and religious activities. Even though the Sadrists object to Iraq’s new oil deals, the Mehdi Army will not target foreign contractors who have started to arrive in the southern oil hub city, Basra, Araji said. </p> <p>The Mehdi Army is there, but only to fight the occupiers. There will be no activities against anyone but the occupiers, who are the US forces, not civilians or foreign companies." Contrary to persistent rumors that Moqtada Al-Sadr has been in Iran for years pursuing his clerical studies, Araji said the Shiite leader was in Iraq. He declined to comment on whether Sadr would make an appearance during the election campaign. "We never said that Sadr was abroad. He is in Iraq, but the security situation means we cannot say where. Sure we need his presence, but our interest is to protect him," Araji said. </p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120516012320/http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=Nzg4NDIyMDY0"
