It is very important for the Iraqi people to overlook and tolerate all the past events between the sects and each other. They must also look beyond the past, think about the present and meet the highest and noblest goal, which is building Iraq.

Religious tolerance and the end of the sectarian conflicts are among the main foundations of peaceful coexistence. In fact, Iraqis need to achieve peaceful coexistence in order to share the same fate and the same obstacles that have faced their country. Today, Iraqis are suffering from very difficult conditions. In fact, this great country has been suffering from tough and exceptional conditions. Thus, Iraqis must overcome these obstacles through achieving forgiveness between all people because this is a necessary step to develop and improve their society. Besides, they must turn the page of the past and forget all the religious conflicts among Iraqis. In the current time, Iraq is in urgent need to achieve that because it is in a very difficult period. Thus, the wise men in the Iraqi society must spread the culture of forgiveness among people through forgetting all the sectarian and religious conflicts of the past. This is for the sake of their country which is still among the greatest countries in the Arab World. This is also in order to achieve a stable and calm life and ensure a safe future for Iraqis.

The government must stop thinking about the positions and start thinking about the Iraqi people.

There is no problem for Iraqis to agree, but the issue is, when will the politicians agree?!

Dear Iraqi people, it is high time you overcame the days of fear, conflict and bickering among you. In fact, you should seek to address the strangers who threaten your security and safety. You are supposed to strive in order to restore the past position of your State. Iraq should be able to make development and progress so as to keep abreast with other countries. This appeal is directed to every individual living on the land of Iraq. In fact, every Iraqi could either agree or disagree with his or her fellow compatriots regarding religious, political and social issues. Nevertheless, the citizens should show forgiveness and tolerance. In fact, there should not be any discrimination between Muslims and Copts. There should not be discrimination between the Muslims sects. Indeed, the citizens from the various sects and religions should cooperate in order to develop their country. They must not seek other objectives.

Iraq has recently suffered a lot because of the conflicts between the Sunnis and the Shiites which claimed the lives of a lot of people because of this strong sectarian strife which has erupted as a result of the extremism on both sides that is in any case caused by a purely religious ignorance that reflects the disappointing state of the Iraqi people and the amount of disaster in which they are living. Therefore, we would like to call on the entire Iraqi people to overcome these problems and turn the page of the past so that Iraq will restore its former respect, strength and prestige. In fact, Iraq will reap from this sectarian strife nothing but sabotage, destruction and harm which will affect Iraqis only. I wonder whether it is reasonable that Muslims kill their brother Muslims and Iraqis murder one another. Everyone must respect the other party. At present, it is also necessary that everyone forgets what the other party has done to him. People must turn that page and overcome it so that they will be able to coexist in peace and prosperity which is certainly something necessary which all Iraqis should take care of. We should find a strong Iraqi national union around this reconciliation process so that Iraq will become secure and stable once again, wherein all kinds of tourism and prosperity will be active in addition to the trade movement. This will certainly bring a lot of wealth to the country and will serve the interest of the Iraqi economy in one way or another. This will be a positive factor in developing the country which currently needs all its faithful citizens who love their beloved land of Iraq which has suffered a lot because of dissension.

Iraq has been through hard times in the last decade, during Saddam Hussein's era. The different sects of the Iraqi people, the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds, were not in accord with each other. There was great discrimination and big conflicts among these sects, as also happened during the American invasion. After the Americans had left Iraq, the new constitution was written, a newly elected government was established, and the situation stabilized in Iraq to some extent. Thus, the Iraqis have to forget the past era, turn the page on it, and start a new era, where they will record their own national coherence and forget the conflicts and struggles among the various different sects. Iraqis must work hand in hand to build their own stable country, which possesses resources that need to be used well, so the Iraqi citizen can feel its results. But these benefits and incomes will not be tangible unless there is security and stability, resulting from cooperation and unity. All the Iraqis must support one target, which is Iraq's progress and rebuilding. It must be mentioned that there are Sunni, Shiites, and Kurds in Iraq; this has led to increasing the differences and disputes between each sect and the others, aiming at controlling Iraq and gaining power. In the end, this has led each sect to control one particular region, and that is a great and severe mistake that makes them distribute Iraq's oil and natural resources, turning Iraq into small states. This reduces the resources and lessens the chances of their being invested and gaining the profits. The Iraqi citizen expects to feel and enjoy the standard of living, which must be raised, as well as the individual's income.

Iraqis must defeat strife and overcome the conflict between Sunnis and Shiites, because they are all brothers and belong to one religion and one country, that is, the beloved Iraq. Our Islam urges us to be tolerant with each other; it shows us that the basic rule is the diversity among peoples in order to make them get to know each other, not to kill each other. It is life's rule, so how can we shed blood just for having different opinions? We are all brothers, and whoever kills one soul is as if he has killed all of humanity; strife is worse than killing! This is our religion and these are its noble teachings, which build bridges among people to communicate across them. Let's start a new page together, where we forget our pains of the past and their consequences; let's stop the bloodshed in Iraq's body and cure this bleeding with our wisdom and minds, because it is the essence of this existence and it is the mind that God has gifted us with. So how can we follow the rage of our anger, forsaking the light of mercy? Iraq must be built by the hands of its people: Sunnis and Shiites, and the other sects. One hand can't work alone; we must collaborate to reconstruct this beloved home, which has suffered a lot. Let's build it and reach safety, for security is the most important pillar upon which reconstruction depends. Without powerful security, how can we start building what was ruined by terrorism? The police have got to arrest all the masterminds to get rid of strife and conflict among the Iraqis. Also, the media must exert more efforts to spread the tolerant image of Islam, to educate the Iraqis and to make them aware, so they do not follow extremism in all its forms. Extremism is like fire, and it is hard to extinguish it. These campaigns must be studied and planned well; they must be advanced and up-to-date, following the events of society, so as to be able to convince big numbers of Iraqi Sunnis and Shiites.

There is no problem in this marriage. The most important thing is humanity, respect, understanding, love and harmonizing the society in serious relations.

I suggest to the government that they give a financial reward to every Sunni that marries a Shiite and every Shiite who marries a Sunni…What do you think?!

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful! "…We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another." God Almighty has spoken the truth!

This is Iraq despite all the haters with its Shiites, Sunnis, Arabs, Kurds, Turkmen, Christians and Sabians! I swear by God, I am proud to be Iraqi. May God protect Iraq and its people for Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad!

The marriage between the colors and currents of our precious country is the effective weapon that is feared by terrorism, because it expresses the state of closeness and harmony among all the sects in Iraq.

Such marriage strengthens the ties of Islamic brotherhood and weakens the evil forces which want to keep the fighting in this society. Congratulations for this marriage!

This is a definite proof of the strong Iraqi cohesion adopted by the educated cultured youth who are building the future of the nation and illuminating the road.

We don't support killing and bloodshed, yet mixed marriages have future harms for the faith, especially for the children. One of the spouses will have to give up his sectarian affiliation, which is not easy, especially for men. What will be the situation of the Sunni sister married to a Shiite man? Isn’t he a man of Tqiyyah, i.e. "religious dissimulation"? So, in order to call for his sect, he will do anything. The people of Iraq know more about it than I do. Religion is the Qur'an and Sunnah, according to the understanding of the Salaf, i.e. predecessors, of this Muslim nation.

Peace be upon you and Happy Eid, i.e. the Muslim celebration of breaking the fast in Ramadan. We pray to Almighty God to gather the Iraqis with love and goodness and to make them abandon the sectarian feuds that came with the American occupation, which brought terrorism. May God never bless them! Peace!

Very good!

This is our Iraq, which is never divided by sectarianism or Qaeda gangs! You will witness more of it with the help of the good citizens, God willing!

As soon as Iraq gets rid of the Iranian occupation, everything will be more beautiful. Iran is the basis of the political and religious ruin in Iraq. Islam is free and has nothing to do with it!

Hello, I support the loyal brave Iraqi people. A brother loving all Iraqis!

O God! O Mursi!

O God, protect Iraq and the people of Iraq.

Marriage between Shiites and Sunnis, or vice versa, is normal because all of us are Muslims. Islam is not a religion of groups and sects, but the marriage of a Muslim man to a Christian woman is also permissible, yet I don't prefer it because it produces children confused between the religion of the father and the religion of the mother. Accordingly, they would not belong to any religion perfectly. The problem gets worse in case of divorce, the child remains for a while with the mother seeing her religion and worship, then he moves to the father for a while and sees a different religion and worship. So, they got more confused and they don't know where to belong.

This is a positive and good indication. It increases the social and familial ties inside the Iraqi society. In the future, this will delete the idea of sectarian, ethnic and background classifications which will gather under one flag, the flag of untied Iraq.

With respect to all the opinions! Fool someone else with this talking (they are exaggerated)!

Marrying a Muslim isn't a problem, but getting married to a Christian woman isn't accepted by Sharea; I wonder at the scholars who approve of and bless such marriages!
