Sunni cleric sees statute as plot to divide country

The Kurds want a federal system to make sure they continue to govern themselves in the Kurdish heartland of the north, where they have enjoyed self-rule since 1991.

Some Shiites have also proposed a Shiite regional, autonomous region in the south.

But many Sunnis believe federalism is a first step to divide the nation. Most of Iraq's oil wealth is in the north and the mostly Shiite south.
