When I travelled in Iraq in the 1990s, the two principal Moslem groups, the Shia and Sunni, had their differences but they lived side by side, even intermarried and regarded themselves with pride as Iraqis.
Since the fall of Saddam Hussein's Iraq is ruled by a minority Shiite and Sunnis are poorly involved in political decisions, this is something that has greatly favored the initial adherence to the Islamic state and its expansion.
But to confuse the issue as one between Muslims and Christians, or as a UPI report misleadingly put it-“Iraq's Christians caught between majority Shiite and minority Sunni Muslims”- is a major injustice.
So while the regular army in Iraq, supported by the Shi'ite and Kurdish fighters on the ground, and backed by the US Air sky, you start recovery of lost territory, the White House is developing a joint action with Russia to eliminate even the Islamic fundamentalists by the Syrian country.
For the fighters of Iraqi Kurdistan, the true ground force committed against men of the caliphate of the help that comes is welcome, but in the general alliance of Turkish meddling threatens to aggravate the Iraqi government, which, it should be remembered, is expression of the Shiites in the country and consequently Iran, which is its main ally.

市場の真ん中やモスクの近くで車が爆発するとき、群衆の中からシーア派とクルド人を選び出しはしない。
When a car detonates in the middle of a soug or near a mosque, it does not seek out only Shia or Kurdish people amongst the multitude.
This factor is likely to reduce the war to the Islamic state, rather than as a fight against terrorism, in a religious issue between Shiites and Sunnis.
One of the main intentions is precisely to bring the war in Syria and in Iraq, where he expanded the sovereignty of the caliphate, in the territory of Lebanon, identified as a stronghold of the Shiiteand support for the regime in Damascus.
