Sunnis are fractured in Iraq, and they are a minority compared to the almost 70% Shia majority in Iraq.

the shia are our real brothers in Iraq. they are dying  in the thousands to defend us and all the Iraqis. they are the ATRUE heroes in Iraq and Syria. the only reason why assyrians are still in Iraq and Syria are because of the shia muslims. they have done more for us than the kurds, the USA, the UK, or anyone else that wants to claim that they've "helped our people".

I wouldn't say they are our brothers. I mean who attacked Assyrians in Basra then?

I tried to find evidence for that, but all they were was statements.

common criminals that exist in every society. but who is ringing church bells all over Iraq? Shiite soldiers and Shiite militias.

She's a Muslim (if you see her profile pic). Maybe she means "hey, look at us Iraqis, we all get along despite our polarizing beliefs". Perhaps she meant it in that manner?

so shes trying to create the image of unity amongst the different religions in Iraq... I don't see why that's a problem.
