Iraqis are Arab, but Iranians, are much more Shi'a (as in, a greater proportion of Iran is Shi'a) and in looks and practice, Shi'a is a different religion from Sunni (the Sunnis would probably deny this, though). So the vibe is *very* different.

[@jevandrocelo8769]

@@danielgerber7422 First: Iraqis are Arabic speaking people, not Arabs, similar to levant but most of people think they are Arabs mostly due the racism and hate of westerners, I'll quote Wikipedia's page ( demographics of Iraq): "Studies indicate that the different ethno-religious groups of Iraq and Mesopotamia share significant similarities in genetics and that Iraqi Arabs, who make up the majority of Iraqis, are genetically DISTINCT from other Arab populations in the Arabs of the Arabian peninsula." in this page you can also see the references of these genealogical DNA studies. second: Shia born in Iraq at the Rashidun caliphs and Iran adopt the Shia belief from Iraq after 5+ centuries from being a completely Sunni country, so this is the real place of Shia not Iran. third: what the hell are you talking about, Shia and Sunni Muslims belong to the same religion but with little differences. forth: stop the hate and ignorance Daniel boy and start to enlighten your mind with the real info's not the ones that white people wrote long ago, which are completely far from the reality.

[@danielgerber7422]

@@jevandrocelo8769 yes, but I meant Iranians are not Arab. Of course Arabs make up the majority of Shi'a, but the majority of Arabs are Sunni. I don't think many ethnologists will agree with you that Iraqis are not Arab. Arab is a broad group now which basically includes all Arabic-speaking people, with very different religions, skin colours, and physical environments. Iraq is a member of the Arab League, for example

Just to clarify some things mentioned in the video: 1. The Arbaeen Pilgrimage happens in a different time every year & not necessarily during October as Muslims follow the lunar calendar! 2. As other people said in their comments, Karbala isn't the holiest place for shia muslims (but ONE of the most holiest places); Mecca, Madina & Jerusalem are the top 3 holiest places for all different branches of islam! 3. Abbas isn't an Imam, but Hussain (his half brother) is one of the 12 Imams for shia muslims! Thank you Drew for another great video!

As someone who's Shia I would like to point out a few points, Shia Islam isn't different from Islam. Karbala is not "like Mecca" to us. Mecca is Mecca. Karbala is a very important site and I'm glad you had the opportunity to go there. If I'm being honest, I wouldn't mind even if you had met me there and told me you were Jewish but I get that not everyone will share the same view and you just want to stay safe. As far as the executive room goes, even me, who has been to Karbala had never known something like that existed. Loved this video! You're lucky because Moharram is about to start in 20 days. You got to be there right before. You are living the life man! Wish you could be there when Moharram starts. You should definitely come back.

Thx for clarifying. For a while, I thought u guys abandoned mecca. Drew should really choose his words wisely.

[@syedali8824]

There is saying in the west “MEECA” is the place where millions of people gathered,if they see lots of people at one place thy usually refer this phrase when he saw lots of people at imam Hussain shrine he use,s the phrase(Mecca of Iraq)that’s all

[@aw3591]

In the US, when a place is visited by large amount of people they use "Mecca" i.e New York city is the mecca for tourists around the world. It doesn't refer to the holy Mecca, it is just a figure of speech.

As a Shia Muslim I thank you for this video. This video made me cry, gave me goosebumps and at the same time gave me hope. BTW, for Shia Muslims Mecca, Medina and Al Quds and then Karbala are holy sites. Imam Hussein the grandson of Holy Prophet and his family and friends were killed by a criminal corrupt ruler called Yazid the son of Mawyia from the family of Ummayed.
