" From Authoritarianism to Sectarian Concerns in The Middle East – Iraq as an Example"

Abstract

The political sects with a religious inclination have entered into competition with the state, which appears to be based solely on the principle of equality. These states serve as fertile ground for the multiple religious sects that have a significant influence. Religion, in general, connects social and political reality to an absolute higher truth. From a religious perspective, the social reality and political system are considered illegitimate. This applies to both the political system and the individual citizen.
