	Dossier: Al-Daawa (June 2003)
		The party would later claim that the perpetrators of these attacks were agents who had been "hijacked" by the intelligence directorate of Iran's revolutionary guards.
		The party is not known to have initiated any serious lobbying activities in the West, and its offices performed primarily logistical and spiritual tasks.
		The party did not participate in the December 2002 London conference, though a leader of the Ahlul Bayt World Assembly (ABWA) considered to be sympathetic to al-Daawa was appointed to the 65 member Follow up and Arrangement Committee.

	Al-Daawa - dKosopedia
		It is one of the most secretive organizations owing in no small part to its many years as a clandistine opposition to the Baath party, so information on it can be hard to come by.
		It was formed initially as a reaction to the Iraqi Communist Party whose propaganda at the time characterized the Shia religious establishment as a reactionary obstacle to modernization and economic progress.
		Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr was one of the early leaders and intellectuals of the party who set much of its early ideology.

		At the age of 19 he joined the Shiite group Hizb al dawa, whose members were quickly noticed by the Baath Party as a threat to their power.
		Salim headed the Daawa al islamiyah ("Invitation to Islam") party, an Islamist party officially being referred to (in 2004) as Daawa Islamic Party.
		Known as a writer, philosopher, thinker and political activist, he started his political party as a vehicle to coordinate opposition against Saddam Hussein.

		The formation of Daawa in 1958 was the response of the Shiite clergy to the growth of socialist and secular conceptions among the Iraqi working class.
		While Daawa’s public agitation was primarily directed against communism, its barely concealed goal was enhancing the wealth and position of the Shiite clergy by the establishment of a state based on Islamic law.
		Daawa’s founder, Baqir al-Sadr, declared support for the theocracy being erected in Iran by his colleague Ayatollah Khomeini and issued a religious ruling prohibiting any Shiite from belonging to the Baath Party.

		Founded in the 1950s, the Daawa Party is one of the two biggest Shia political parties and the oldest of the Shia Islamist movements in Iraq.
		A senior Daawa figure, Sheikh Mohammed Nasseri, returned to southern Iraq from exile in Iran shortly after the fall of Saddam Hussein, as part of an attempt by the party to re-establish itself after years of clandestine existence.

	Sciri: An American Ally In Iraq?
		The al-Daawa party was experiencing turmoil in the 1970s, as the gap between its progressive spiritual leadership and secretive activist network widened.
		The Daawa faction loyal to SCIRI is the pro-Iranian wing of the party led by Mohammad Ali Taskhiri, Mohammad Asefi and Kazem Haeri.
		The old guard of SCIRI, composed of veteran Najaf seminarians and former Daawa cadres, is committed to Khomeini's enduring legacy-namely the Velayat-e-Faqih (guardianship of the jurisconsult) doctrine.

	Dossier: The Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (October 2003)
		However, the relations between the nucleus of SCIRI and Daawa became strained, largely because Daawa qualified its support for the Iranian revolution and viewed the rigid theocratic state that arose from it as unsuitable for Iraq.
		Daawa's spiritual leadership is composed of a multiplicity of personalities with different views and allegiances, but its cohesive activist network is led by the formerly London- based Ibrahim Jaafari, who was given a seat on the Iraqi Governing Council and served as its first president.
		Daawa is still too fractured and secretive to play a decisive role in Iraqi politics.

		The Islamic Daawa party - one of the two main Shia political parties and the oldest, going back to 1957 (or 1958, according to some reports), when it was first established by a group of Shia Islamic scholars headed by Ayatollah Mohammed Baqr al Sadr to counter communist influences.
		Party spokesman Ibrahim Jaafari, a medical doctor (one of many involved in Iraqi politics, it seems), is one of Iraq's two current vice-presidents.
		The Party's Mufid Mohammad Jawad al-Jazairi is the minister of culture in the current interim government and the Party's head Hamid Majid Musa is an interim National Assembly member.

	Shiite Groups and Factions
		While the Daawa Party originated as an ideological movement, it was the movement's military and terrorist operations that typified the organization in later years.
		While Al Daawa does not officially cooperate with coalition forces, it is pragmatic and its leaders have been careful to avoid actions that might sabotage the delicate transition to some form of representative government in Iraq.
		However, Daawa broke with SCIRI in 1984, largely because Daawa qualified its support for the Iranian revolution and viewed the rigid theocratic state that arose from it as unsuitable for Iraq.

		The Daawa Party, which lost many of its members to Saddam's death squads, organised a trip to the mass grave at Salman Pak after its newspaper carried a story about the site, saying Saddam's men used meat grinders to torture his opponents.
		The party visited mosques to tell people of the grave and paid for their transportation, Iraqis at the grave said.
		The Daawa Party is one of many Shiite groups vying for power as Iraq shapes its political future after years of iron- fisted rule under Saddam's mostly Sunni Baath Party.

		Without US support for its endeavors, the ability of any party to garner votes in rough proportion to the numbers in their natural constituency is severely limited.
		Political parties everywhere serve as mechanisms for channeling government funds to the party's supporters -and also into the pockets of their leaderships.
		If the US State Department decides that the al-Daawa party is "making a positive contribution to the emergence of democracy in Iraq," they may reward the party with a sizeable donation to "build its capacity" to get its members elected.

		The CPA and United Nations also have banned parties associated with armed militias from participating in the election — but they admit the ban will be almost impossible to enforce.

		The SWP combines toadying to Galloway and disaffected Labour Party and trade union functionaries with an adaptation to what it habitually refers to as the “Muslim community.” Its other partner in Respect is the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB).
		There can be few occasions where an appeal for support for a new party has been framed to reassure potential voters that this will not damage what is meant to be that party’s main political opponent.
		Moreover there is a deeply rooted hostility to attempts to revive Japanese militarism as demonstrated by the widespread opposition to the dispatch of Japanese troops to Iraq and efforts to revive the ideology and symbols of Japan’s wartime imperial regime.

		The slogans of the Islamist Daawa Party are common, as are those of the communists, a lone secular voice in the jungle of Iraq’s Islamic politics.
		Today, the Communist Party is one of the most prominent in Iraq—an incongruity in the Arab world, where the influence of Islamist ideology has made “communist” synonymous with “atheist”.
		But in Iraq, the Communist Party has a long history and an important place in the narrative of the emerging modern nation-state—so important that there is a communist on the Governing Council and a communist in the Cabinet chosen by that council.

		It joined the Damascus based National Democratic Front (NDF) shortly after its formation on 28 November 1980.[2] The party used its clout to rename the NDF as the Islamic National Front (INF), but its unwillingness to work closely with the ICP and other secular groups ensured the INF's early demise.
		With the exception of Syria and Lebanon, the party mostly shunned the Arab world.[3] The party is not known to have initiated any serious lobbying activities in the West, and its offices performed primarily logistical and spiritual tasks.

	The Insurgent's Log
		Both SCIRI and al Daawa now advocate building a democratic Islamic state in Iraq (look here), but it isn't clear whether they really, really mean it (also see Dan Drezner's way more optimistic take on Shi'a politics).
		The partial rebirth of the Ba'ath Party would actually fit those models, where elements of the fascist bureaucracy were assimilated to combat communism.
		The real surprise is not the continuing infiltration of armed SCIRI personnel from Iran (look here), or the return of the radical al Daawa movement that saw combat against Western forces in Lebanon in the 1980s, or even the tug-of-war between Islamist clerics and those religious figures who prefer to separate state and church.
