They are sunni group following wahbisim interpretations which are officially adopted by Saudi Arabia.
On the other hand , Iran backed forces (Shiaa militas) were the first to resist ISIS progress and defeated them in Tikrit,Anbar,Diyala.

I live in Baghdad and bandwidth here is very very expensive as it comes from VSAT terminals , 1024/512 link costs more than $3000USD/month.
As a temporary solution , I started integrating Squid Cache Servers for ISPs , and I am thinking about building a city wide cache network using ICP (Internet Cache Protocol), normally the request hit ratio is more than $40 , with some servers it is 60%.
I was just like you , but when I used Ubuntu I found that there is no need for Yast when everything works just fine without touching any configuration utilities.
But I might go back to SuSE when they stop using Mono in their system utilities , especially the ones in the startup !
I have been through something scary before.....well lots of things but the most scary one was when a masked man with a gun was chasing me !!
And I can tell you , Time did NOT slow down !!!
MS is making programs that control our life and the way we deal with the computer , when you use MS WINDOWS , you don't feel that you are controlling the computer , instead , the computer is controlling you ! can you tell why the network indicator is always blinking !! even if there was nothing running !
with Linux and OSS , you can make the software works according to your requirement , with Microsoft , your working is going according to their software capabilities ! and you will change that way you work to make use of the software !
it is just like flipping the wall to put a light bulb
oh god !! so that how the hawks think....don't you know most of the families in Iraq contain sunnis and shiaa ??? don't you know that AL-Qaada is a wahabi movement and considered the enemy number one for the shia and most of the sunnis in iraq ???
you know nothing about iraq and iraqis
I am Iraqi , and I still think that something like 'low level format' is needed for Iraq to start over. The US army did half finished job in 2003 , and the first thing they did there was opening the weapons huge stores all over Iraq for the ppl , it was just like a weapons sale (but for free !) ppl could get even MEG-29 , and sitrella missiles......and the US army was just watching ! most of the soldiers don't feel for any responsibilities , and still they don't...they are careless.
I worked with them (IT sysadmin in a civilian unit) for more than 8 months and I saw really bad things.....the army is careless and the special units are opening their fire on anything that moves.
Till now , the army their don't know who is their enemy , and how to identify and distinguish the good ppl for the bad ones.
The worst thing was opening the borders for the terrorists.....I hate Saddam but I can't deny that he was doing that job very well...the radical terrorists never existed in Iraq , as they are the enemy number one for the Shiaa (60% of iraqis) , and the government was killing anyone with long ugly beard...Saudia Arabia tried to push the radical islam into iraq buy paying $1000 for any iraqi who starts converting....but Saddam treated those us traitors and killed them all in few weeks.
now what we have got after 'liberating' iraq ??? Arab radical terrorists from Saudia,Egypt,Yamen...are controlling large areas of the west desert on iraq !they closed the schools , killed anyone who doesn't cooperate and again.....the US army still only watching. Few months before the war Saddam released thousands of criminals for the jails....and now the arab countries are using those to implement their plans in iraq as they are ready for kill their families for few $$$$
Now I have been away from Iraq since about 10 months , and will never think about going back there , the only thing I am missing there is my large room with CISCO 5300 Router and dedicated satellite transmitter !
I have the same case as your , and when I graduated from a college known for it's girls which is called RFC (Rich Fools College) , but you have to be special and unique to overide this bad reputation. for me , I started learning Linux/UNIX which later let me learn OOP,PHP,... easily. After graduating , I found job a good job easily ( the magic word was Linux/UNIX).
yes , many iraqis have computers at home , and many of them has more than one computer at home.
no , most of them don't know about linux or anything other than windows , they think that windows is a part of the computer itself.

As an Iraqi , I am happy for that judgment , although I know it is a show trial...

actually , the first step in our group toward students were distributing 200 free mandrake move CD , so ppl there will think that Linux=Mandrake !
