  •  a major problem (none / 0)

    is that the sunnis dont beleive that they are only 20% of the population......I remember several quotes that the sunnis thought that they were the majority..........

    so the question will the sunnis NOW accept this ? or will they try and topple to govt ?

    •  That's just it (none / 0)

      The Sunnis think they are a majority of the country. Perhaps, at one time, they were. It's much like the Christians of Lebanon. In 1932, they were 50% of the country. Now they are probably 30%. But they don't want a new census. Imagine if New York demanded we never hold another census because it might show the state has lost population to Arizona?
