Just now, on Radio BBC, Mazin Younis of the Iraqi League was interviewed
regarding a list of tips compiled for fleeing Sunni to pass as Shia and
escape.


I tried to find a link in google, but failed.

Sunni are advised to acquire ID which omits their tribe name. Some
tribes are solid Shia. Other tribes are solid Sunni. Yet other tribes are
mixed.


Cell phones are routinely confiscated and examined for clues to Shia
identity. The tip sheet suggests having a Shia song and photo on the cell
phone.


Taxi license plates reveal the town. Avoid taking a taxi from a town that
is known as Sunni.


If someone passes the license plate and cell phone test, then they may be
quizzed regarding Shia customs.


Gaining some knowledge of Shia may make the difference between
successful travel, and being detained.


Sorry I cannot recall greater detail from what I heard, or locate a link.
