In
this BBC News article it focuses the funeral that was held in the Iraqi city of
Fallujah for
Sunni protesters. This funeral took
place on Saturday; one day after the shootings occurred. These protesters were killed by army
troops. There were 5 people shot dead
and several others left wounded. After
the funeral other protests broke out against Iraq’s Shia-led government. The article then goes into detail as to why
there were protests to begin with. The
Iraqi Sunni felt like the government was discriminating against them.
This
article relates to our class because lately we have been talking about Sunni
and Shia and how they are not alike and what truly is the different between the
two. We have been talking about their
way of thinking differs from each other.
This article is a great example because it shows that the Sunni’s and
Shia’s are almost battling against each other to get what they individually
want. This article also brought up a lot
of questions that I had towards the two groups and how they got to be so far
apart.
