Iraqis especially from the South largely descent from the Bedouin tribes, and many of them came from Nejid. There is Persian ancestry in the shrine cities, but in the South they are mostly more or less of Arabian Bedouin descent, the conversion to Shiaism was quite recent and it was due to the political and religious climate, and also the influence of the Lebo-Persian clergy, which took refuge in Iraq, during the Afghan invasion. Also the influence of Qajar Iran on Iraq as well. Well the nomadic Bedouin tribes that became concentrated in the West are Sunni to this day, and never converted to Shiaism nor have Shia sympathies, this is the same is true of the nomadic Bedouin tribes in the South. The Al-Muntafaq tribe is one of the largest Shia tribes, they are of Bedouin stock who became settled and converted under the Lebo-Persian clergy. Northern Iraqis are different are largely descendants of the locals, and only converted to Islam in the 11th century, they would become majority Muslim mostly due to Timur the lame, and later as political alliances with the various ruling Muslim groups like the Ottomans.

The Mesopotamian were concentrated in the North. The Arabized locals were exterminated by the Mongols and the Timurids. Thus by the 15th century it was Bedouin tribes coming from Arabia that would replenish the population in Western and Southern Mesopotamia. The most famous Bedouin tribes such as the Shammar and Rawallah migrated, and took their feuds to the region, well the Al-Muntafaq appeared to be the most powerful tribe and also the largest. Several other tribes would also come and settle in Iraq, and thing from their change. At this time the Shia Persian clergy themselves of Lebanese origin, would try to recruit the Bedouin tribes into the fold of Shiaism, and such movement was quite conductive in the shrine cities, in which Shiaism reigned supreme since the Islamic era. Well those in the West have always rejected Shiaism and Persian influence, and are quite hostile to them, due to the Persian Safavid invasion of the 15th century, and later the Afshars and hence they kept a grudge ever since.
