You said "dominated by". After all, the US Congress has Ron Paul, but the Congress is not dominated by the likes of him.

Oh and you quote a 27-year old article to make what point, exactly? I'm not up on my Arabic, but my guess is that "Al Dawa" is a pretty common term. My research indicates it means "an invitation," although the underlying connotation is possibly different.

Check the Links I provided. Al Dawa and SCIRI, "Al Sistani's List", are the Ruling Majority Government of Iraq.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, of the Al Dawa Party, was the Al Dawa bureau chief in Damascus in the 1980s and was thus heavily responsible for Al Dawa operations in Beirut, while parliament member Jamal Jafaar Mohammed of his ruling coalition is one of the "Kuwait 17", still under a Kuwaiti death sentence (in absentia) for his direct involvement in the vicious attack on the US Embassy in Kuwait!

Al Dawa means "The Islamic Call" and is the Islamic Terrorist progenitor of Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad... all sorts of wonderful folk.

Give me the Arabic spelling of Al Dawa and I will tell you what it means.
