The key thing here is that the Ba'th religion is the State religion in
Iraq. It seems that it is a religion of the state such as the American
Constitution warns against. I spent two years in Turkey. When I would ask
a Sunni what the difference between them and a Shi'ite was, the response
was always a rapid denouncement in a flurry of vehement Turkish that I had
no chance of following with my limited Turkish skills. I can tell you
that they have a very strong heartfelt dislike for Shia.
