Illegal mating in Iraq between ?€¦religion, money and politics, and the formidable divorce between corrupt class and the people!
 

 Mohammad Yaseen
Religion derives its legitimacy from God the Creator of cosmos the Lord of heavens and earth, whatsoever religion: Islam, Christianity or Judaism, in order to spread the messages of Almighty, circulate truth, love, peace and compassion among the people, however, religion derives its existence and continuity from the people who pass its sermons, advices, teachings, features and ethics from generation to generation, thru their faith in its heavenly message.

In Iraq, religious factions and forces, after the occupation, came up with concepts, designations, and ideas alien to the essence, messages and objectives of the heavenly religions, as Islam political forces have reduced religion to logos and veered it thru introducing politicized concepts and notions harnessed to serve narrow partisan and personal objectives meant to achieve stereotyped mundane goals thru tampering with the people's feelings and emotions, it is not an issue of controversy that the nature of our society is emotional and partial to the cleric and clan sheikh, and as this matter has positives it has as well  negative aspects overshadowed the positives in the meantime, since we find that the majority of clerics in Iraq have turned politicians by exercising political work thru the power on which they forced themselves with support from external countries that have agendas and objectives they wanted to realize thru them, and also religious platforms of a political color that are still a significant driver for the Iraqi street; so we can say here that mating is there and strong between politics and religion since 2003 to present day, we could add to that a third and principal joint in this mating which is money, that has come to be known today by the  term "political money", so we find that Iraqi religious factions and forces are in control of Iraq huge resources and potentials thru holding the reins of power and dominating the existing political system in the country,  then we diagnose the Iraqi situation by representing it as a mating between politics, money and religion (sectarian and religious parties).

 No doubt that this formidable mating is just a venture between the three joints and deemed the principal core that has formed the catastrophic nature of crisis of Iraq and its people since eight years at various levels and ranges, and caused a big gap between the ruling class in control of these joints and between the Iraqi people, and this can be described as the great divorce ever occurred between this class and the people.

Hence, this corrupt class has been mostly concerned with how to amass fortunes, privileges, pilfer the public money, make use of Iraq oil and natural resources, cling to power and seize the parliament, which is supposed to serve the people, defend its rights and free voice, but all we find about them is larceny, sharing of astronomical salaries among themselves, huge commercial contracts in accordance with immense deals between the political blocs, most important of which the contracts of the Ministry of Commerce, Oil and Defense, even corruption has become rampant throughout the state's joint, and creation of dummy ministries in the government without reasonable grounds except to appease the political blocs, even so that it was called "government of appeasement", a fact that has led to a greater slouch in the present government form, despite that the ministerial formation is still incomplete and comes out in its final version after the elapse of about one year from the elections, however, the farce did not stop at this point, wherein some economic experts reported that the major part of Iraqi budget for this year will be given out as salaries for the three presidencies, ministers and parliamentarians ! on account of that, the uprising of our people today is worth to be named "popular revolution for the sake of change", as it has all the ingredients, warrants  and reasons of a revolution , so when we look for spots of flaws in the political system and diagnose them in search for solutions, so, we are in need of a radical change that ensures achieving all sought after goals and also ensures the progress of change process in a proper way without relapsing into the painful lamentable past  or staying in the dark and abhorrent disgusting present.
