It is the way to end misuse of the conflicts by international powers, extremists and opponents. The rulers in Iraq must constitute a unity government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: small; color: #000000;\">Shaikh Abdol-Hamid asked Muslim scholars, both Shia and Sunni, to avoid from issuing Fatwas (verdicts) which intensify sectarian conflicts. They should advise rival groups to save security of Iraq and its geographical borders.
