In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The CINU has deliberated the topic of the so-called transitional governing council and found that it has divided Iraq people ethnically and given a certain community an absolute majority over the whole Iraqi people's components and classes without a referendum or an accurate census, and we were reluctant before to go into the question of percentages and numbers because talking of them would mean to us such as fueling the sectarian spirit for being harmful to the national unity which is called for by prudent men of all parties .
Nevertheless, after this division has been officially approved – for reasons we understand – it was necessary to demonstrate the fact, which is that the group that was given the majority does not represent actually the absolute majority over the whole Iraqi people constituents and classes as rumored in the media, but even does not represent this prevalent majority in the Islamic medium of the Iraqi people as the rest of Muslims of Arabs, Kurds, Turkmen and others constitute more than 50% according to former and private statistics, and this will be confirmed in future statistics and referendums if they were carried out accurately and fairly.
God says the truth, and He guides to the right way, Allah will suffice me and He is the best guardian .
