Just as title says, what ones are more friendly? Sunni? Shia? Kurds? What others are there? It depends on which group will help us attain our goals. Tribal society, feuds, you go with which ever way the wind is blowing |

Probably the kurds since we have practically recognized Kurdistan as a country. They all have good reason to be pissed at us though. The longer we try to play puppet master and nation builder the worse it will get too. We should just sit back and let them fight it out and develop their own borders instead of trying to establish their borders for them.

Sufis tend to bother nobody,Sunni Kurds and Kosovars tend to be very pro-American,Shia Azeris have never been much of a problem. Most Shia who consider themselves Persian rather than Iranian are solid citizens of wherever they have resettled.
Wahhabist/Salafists and 12er Shia cause all the problems. This can be directly related to the Saudis thinking more religion was the answer after the Grand Mosque takeover and the western refusal to support the Shah. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

In my experience:
Chaldean and Assyrian's are the most favorable Arabs to the U.S. - They're Christians. Hazaras are the most favorable Muslims to the U.S. - They're not Arabs. The most U.S. favorable Arab Muslims would be Jordanians, Kuwaitis, or Emiratis. This is just like, my opinion man. |

Most don't give a shit about us and just want to get through the day, but they aren't really friendly and view us more like GD views liberals (my take). But even if 3% hate our guts that's still a shit ton of people. If fuckhead Obama hadn't left Iraq I have no doubt they would have slowly improved (look at economic data). |

The American ones. The ones that sacrificed everything to get here and live in our free society. The ones that enlisted, or commissioned, or contracted with the Armed Forces overseas, risking their lives so that our troops would have the local knowledge and language.
I have a Muslim friend in Austin who loves our society. She arrived here, got a job, then told her husband she wanted a tattoo. He replied,"This is haram for us!" He paid for all three she's got. He's the first Muslim I gave a gun to. He worked as a native linguist for the US since 2003 - then got here via the refugee visa program. He works armed security nights in Austin, raising his family in America. They've already had their first American. |

The Druze have fought both with and against Lebanese Christians. Druze in Israel are now incorporated directly into regular army units;serving in the IDF is a point of communal pride. As has been answered,the Christians are generally overwhelmingly pro-US/Western. However,Tariq Aziz was Christian and quite a few have supported Assad. This is understandable considering having to pick the least worst of possible sides. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I also agree with the sentiment about the Sufis, and a few others. Rumi is hands down one of my top favorite poet-mystics.
I would also add the largely balkan-based Bektashi Orders, the bulgaro-macedonian Pomaks and similar muslim ethnic groups in the balkans. |

I've worked with three Iraqi men. I'm not sure which tribe they're from, but they've all been great guys.
Huessein was an Olympic diver on the Iraqi swim team in either 84 or 88. He's the one I see most these days. |

Not sure what sect they were (never thought to ask back then) but the ones I grew up around were ok. Drank booze and ate bacon too. Even the ones who were strict weren't fanatics either. Had a girl take off her hijab and give me a bj junior year, so take from that what you will.
