The Shiite militia created a rift w/ the Sunni militia by naming the counter-offensive against Ramadi "Labaik Ya Hussein", which translates to "we are at your service, Hussein." This is a reference to the grandson of Mohammed, the lineage that the Shias follow.

The reason they can't pull together is because they value their versions of their religion over a country arbitrarily drawn on a map by people that share neither. Well, there's that and then it's also the fact that they live in the 1200's.

No one has ever taught them the meaning of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
