Ahl Al-Sunna wa al-Jama'a ("original document (English)") [ID 9943]

"The Ahl Al-Sunna wa Al-Jama'a is an umbrella organization that claims to coordinate the actions and political platforms of various Sunni religious movements; its 230 members include Kurds and Turkomans, as well as Arabs. Although it explicitly supports an Islamic government, the group is more moderate than the Hayat Al-Ulama Al-Muslimin, with which it competes to represent Iraqi Sunnis, although several individuals sit on both councils."
