I think the shia should have the freedom to experience a shia dictatorship just like the iranians have gone through. It's good for their brains and will help them grow up and understand their religion better.
Yeah i thought of this too, why do people need to expierience failure first till they learn about it... There must be educated men between those 74%, cant they see from other countries like their neighboor Iran that a shariat system wont work these days?
In the time of Mohammed and a little later it was a descent system for them which prevented a lot of uncivilized things (pre-islam arabs were really uncivilized), there was order and relative peace but they have to move on now and not stick with old rules which dont fit anymore.
The good thing for islam which keeps this religion so big is that the qoran's words are from god, there cant be so many different sekts as the christans expierienced, the qoran will never change and most of the rules are clear and universal.
The bad thing is also that the qoran's words are from god, this prevents any good change of old rules which dont fit these days anymore. Old rules which makes females lower than males, rules which bans interest, rules which makes that devoted muslims will always try to impose their religion to others via a shariat.
btw I dont think this poll is accurate, older polls showed that only the shia majority wanted a shariat system with one ayatollah as the leader and since they are 60-65% of the population i believe they (the iraqi firm) interviewed relatively too many shia's and less sunni arabs and kurds.
