The leader of the Muslim Scholars Association, Harith al-Dari, called on November 19 for the dismissal of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government and a reassessment of the political process in Iraq, "Al-Ghadd" reported the same day. Al-Dari called for the formation of an Iraqi unity government that would serve all Iraqis, and he accused al-Maliki's government of perpetrating sectarian attacks against Sunni Arabs. "We will not remain silent over the organized sectarian killings that parties known to al-Maliki's government are carrying out today against Sunnis all over Iraq under the full cover of the U.S. occupation forces," he said. He also said there are "certain groups" who are trying to divide Iraq and strip it of its national and Arab identity. The Interior Ministry issued an arrest warrant for al-Dari on November 17 on charges of "inciting terrorism"
