Abstract
Although Iraqi society seems to be a monolithic society, prima facie, in terms behavior and morality, it includes different currents of thought and culture that conflict each other in many principles and sub-principles: Shia movements, Sunni movements, ethnic Kurdish factions and religious minorities that are recognized as such in Iraqi constitution and united under the general title of Iraq. Each of these main currents itself consists of subcultures and sub-currents that have their own sociological, religious, political, economic and cultural elements by which they distinguish from one another; a major obstacle to the development of Iraq. One of these sub-currents which operates under the existing main Shia movement in Iraq and has caused a great deal of controversy is the Yemeni (Yamani) claimant movement, which has changed one of the strongest common Shia cultures, namely Mahdism, and created a new subculture.
The present article, using virtual and library resources and through a descriptive-analytical study, explores this issue and deals with the cultural and non-cultural contexts within which this current has been formed and its consequences in Iraq. It finally concludes that such sub-currents and specially Yamani clamant movement, exploiting beliefs and ignorance of ordinary people, have influenced the public culture and social norms of Shia community in Iraq, caused divisions and disputes among the people, and hindered the progress of Iraq.
