Neutrosophic Perspective for the Causes of Iraq's Sectarian Strife in the Period (2014-2017)

Abstract

The millstone of the contemporary history of Iraq was the events of sectarian strife, especially at the beginning of the millennium. The most important causes of the collapse of the ruling regime, the Ba'ath Party regime that Saddam Hussein had led for four decades in Iraq, were the monopolization of power and leading the country towards confrontation with global powers and neighbouring countries. The sectarian strife reached its peak when the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), with the announcement of Abu Baker al-Baghdadi, his Islamic State, in June 2014. The occurrence of strife (sectarian, societal, between individuals; and between central, local, or regional governments) has repercussions and consequences of such strife. In this study, the researchers attempt to apply some modern approaches, specifically, the Neutrosophic mathematical tools of these causes and their repercussions, in addition to proposing some solutions to the problems suffered by society from the perspective of Iraqi researchers who experienced the events of sectarian strife in Iraq and who, at the same time, were advocates of the idea of spreading Neutrosophic logic through their management of the World Neutrosophic Scientific Academy / the Iraqi branch, whose headquarters in the United States of America are led by the Romanian founder of Neutrosophic Logic, Florentin Smarandache. Neutrosophic logic is a generalization of fuzzy logic and is a powerful mathematical tool for analysis and interpretation of vagueness events and problems holding indeterminacy. Neutrosophic theory and logic is also characterized by the widespread dissemination of its scientific research across the globe, as hundreds of researchers worldwide have published rigorous scientific studies in internationally renowned journals, providing solutions to the problems addressed in these studies.
