After the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the country is split in 3 parts

Look at the conflict/ethnic map of Iraq. On the right we have the conflict map:

• ISIS territories are black
  
• Peshmerga's territories are yellow
  
• Iraqi army's territories are pink
  

ISIS is a sunni muslim religious "state". Peshmergas are Kurds, mostly sunni muslims but they're mostly secular and atheists. The Iraqi army is fully shi'ite, as sunnis are prevented from joining the Iraqi army.

On the right we have the ethno-religious map of Iraq:

• Sunni muslims are in the yellow areas
  
• Kurds are in the purple areas
  
• Shia muslims are in the green areas
  

What's ISIS? an American conspiracy? a plan to attack Iran? I don't think so. It was fault of the U.S. invasion, but it seems like ISIS is a state of mind !!
