Displaced Iraqis from Anbar now physically barred from entering Baghdad without a "sponsorship from

[quote]Iraqis fleeing fighting between the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and government forces say they are being prevented from entering the capital, Baghdad.

Several Iraqis from Anbar, the region where most of the fighting is taking place, said the government has not allowed them to enter the city without prior sponsorship from Sunni Islamic institutions.

[B]One woman, stuck outside a bridge leading into southern Baghdad told Al Jazeera that she and other displaced residents had to sleep out in the open.[/B]

"We slept on the street in the open, in miserable conditions...we've left everything behind," the woman said.

Al Jazeera's Omar Al Saleh, reporting from Baghdad, said the city's mosques had opened their doors to refugees fleeing the violence, after the country's highest Sunni authority sponsored their entry into the city.

"The number of people coming to the capital has made the authorities nervous...some accuse the government of being indifferent," our correspondent said.

Iraq's parliament has called on the government to lift restrictions on people entering the capital, and send more weapons and troops to help tribes in Anbar tackle ISIL.

The government has let in 10,000 people, out of what the UN estimates are more than 90,000 displaced Iraqis. [/B][/quote]

I hope they realize that for every Sunni from Anbar they fuck over, they make a potential recruit for Daesh

Noone's being fucked over just because. It's a little thing called security. Sleeper cells can easily be slipped in if they just let in everyone who says they want in.

I don't think singling out an entire sect of a religion is the way to go about that.

Part of the reason Daesh got a foothold in Iraq is because of how shitty the government treated Sunni Iraqis.

And to think, Iraq was at one time the cultural and academic capital of the world
