I’ve seen several news stories that state that gunmen in Iraq have stopped buses, checked the ID cards of the passengers, and then murdered the people whose religion they disliked. It seems fairly obvious that the Iraqi government should be issuing a new type of ID card that DOESN’T say people’s religions so that it wouldn’t be so easy for gunmen to choose their victims. Why hasn’t either the US or Iraqi governments undertaken this glaringly obvious necessary action?

A person’s surname is how they tell if the person is Shiite or Sunni.
