Abstract

The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War carried deep identity crises in some Arab countries. in terms of the link between the national identity and the comprehensive Arab-Islamic identity, Al-Aruba was born in the form of a modern political doctrine to which belonging became the seed of the establishment of Arabs their modern nation and shared national concepts in weakening the traditional affiliation with ancient identity that was based on religious affiliation, However, it was unable to resolve the contradictions in the identity of religious, linguistic and ethnic minority groups in the Arab States and this founding labor of the Arab world is clearly reflected in countries that are pluralistic in nature, including Iraq, The problem of minorities has formed in the guts of the modern Iraqi national State since its birth in 1921, and has grown unevenly as the country's political, economic, social and cultural structure has evolved through various political systems that have left behind many backlogs that have insolvent social integration; Not to mention the weak possibilities of the State Identity Project drafted by the governing elites before the 2005 Constitution to contain minority problems, but rather to produce a reality of complexity over time.
