The majority-Shia country has been led by Shia Muslim political factions and a Shia Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki. Sunni Muslims have lost faith in the U.S. backed Maliki government in regions where the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have taken control. This is notable considering that ISIS is mainly comprised of Sunni Muslims.
