  ShaikhSiddiqui Maliki
The sources of Maliki doctrine are the Qur'an, the Prophet's traditions (Hadith), consensus (Ijma'), and analogy (Qiyas).
The Malikis' concept of Ijma' differed from that of the Hanafis in that they understood it to mean the consensus of the community represented by the people of Medina.
Maliki is one of the four schools of Fiqh or religious law within Sunni Islam, named for Malik ibn Anas (ca.

 Maliki | TPMCafe
If only Casey hadn’t insisted that he could do the job with the troops at hand and instead had asked for more American soldiers and Marines earlier, things would be going swimmingly now in Iraq — or so Bush appears to believe.
But the problem isn’t Maliki or Casey or even Rumsfeld — the problem is Bush’s failure understand what Iraq is all about.
Sheryl Gay Stolberg reports on the Bush-Maliki press conference on the NYT site, but either she or her editor buries the lede.

  The Hindu : International : Jawad Maliki endorsed as Iraq's Prime Minister
Maliki's relatively loose ties with Iran were a factor in his nomination.
Maliki, since his return from exile, has been an important member of the "de-Ba'athification" committee that was involved in purging Ba'ath party loyalists of the former President, Saddam Hussein.
Maliki's nomination has not faced any opposition from Sunni groups, who are slated for a prominent role in the new composite government.

 Asia Times Online :: Middle East News - Heck of a job, Maliki!
Maliki's meeting him for consultation, then rushing out to meet Muqtada, only adds to Sistani's belief that his word is no longer final in Shi'ite politics.
Although Maliki has pledged to clamp down on the militias, he has done nothing to control, or even curb, the powers of the Mehdi Army that is run by Muqtada.
Maliki's visit to Muqtada shortly after Saadi's release raises speculation that the purpose of the Najaf trip might have been to apologize for detaining such a senior Muqtada loyalist.

 Maliki on a path to self-destruction - Kavkazcenter.com
Maliki came to power in abnormal ways, presiding over an abnormal cabinet in the most abnormal of times, witnessing a horrific rise in sectarian violence that the prime minister has been unable - and unwilling - to end.
Maliki repeatedly promised to disarm the militias that have contributed so much to Iraq's violence, but he has done nothing even to curb the powers of the Mehdi Army (run by Muqtada) or the Badr Organization of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), a leading Shi'ite group.
When Maliki came to power in May, his cabinet was expected to define Iraq's relationship with the United States, set a timetable for US troop withdrawal, bring an end to sectarian violence, and disarm the militias.

Maliki school means the application of Islamic law in accordance with the interpretation of Imam Malik (R.A) and or that of his disciples.
Maliki school was originally the School of the people of al-Madinah al-Munauwarah, the lighthouse and blessed city of the Prophet (SAW).

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Region | Maliki's wishful thinking
In June, Maliki introduced a 28-point plan for national reconciliation including the freeing of detainees from US and Iraqi prisons, compensating victims of joint US-Iraqi military operations, and a timetable for the withdrawal of occupation troops from Iraq.
Maliki's latest efforts seem to have also run into two potentially explosive roadblocks -- the issues of federalism and tackling the militias.
A further hurdle came when Sunni politicians accused Maliki of dragging his feet on disbanding the militias, many of which are alleged to have formed death squads thought to be behind most sectarian killings.

 Maliki
The Maliki school is based upon the techniques for law developed by Malik bin Anas.
The sources to Malik's life and hence the start of the Maliki school are often unreliable to a degree uncommon to early Islam.
The Maliki branch of law uses community practice (sunna), prefer traditional opinions (ra'y) and analogical reasoning (qiyas) instead of a strict reliance on the hadith as a basis for legal judgment.

 Amidst reports of US coup preparations in Iraq Prime Minister Maliki vents grievances against Washington
In response to increasing US pressure for a crackdown on Shia militias hostile to the American occupation and public criticisms of Maliki by American military commanders and politicians, the prime minister complained that Khalilzad and the Bush administration were undermining the official fiction that he was the sovereign head of a democratic government.
Maliki’s comments were preceded by an October 24 press conference held in Baghdad’s Green Zone by Khalizad and the commander of US forces in Iraq, General George Casey.
In demanding that Maliki endorse an assault on the Shia militias, the US is calling on him to attack a major political prop of his highly unstable regime.

 Bush Adviser’s Memo Cites Doubts About Iraqi Leader - New York Times
Maliki has the will and ability to establish a genuine unity government, saying the answer will emerge from actions he takes in the weeks and months ahead.
Maliki was surrounded by a small group of advisers from the Shiite Dawa Party, a narrow circle that American officials worry may skew the information he receives.
Maliki’s position may be too tenuous for him to take the steps needed to curb the power of Shiite militias, to establish a more diverse and representative personal staff and to arrest the escalating sectarian strife.

 A Message for Maliki: Bush Must Make Clear Iraq's Responsibilities
Both Bush and Maliki are under pressure to craft a joint policy that will restore momentum to efforts to build a stable and democratic Iraq.
Maliki’s highest priority must be to hammer out a stable power-sharing agreement with other Iraqi leaders to rein in the power of militias, drain away support for the Sunni Arab-dominated insurgency, and reduce the intensity of civil violence to manageable proportions.
Maliki needs to know that if Iraqis fail to break the power of the militias and halt the momentum toward a civil bloodbath, the United States cannot save Iraqis from themselves.

 The Corner on National Review Online
Maliki spent his exile-from-Saddam years in Syria as a political officer in the Dawa party which developed close ties with Hezbollah and Iran.
Since Maliki replaced Jafaari, he has embraced Sadr (see here: "The Mehdi Army of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is among the militias on Baghdad streets raising concerns within the coalition, but al-Maliki insisted al-Sadr is 'ready to participate in the political process and its responsibilities....
Since Maliki will apparently be informing us about his plans and “what a democratic Iraq will mean for the region over the longer term,” here’s hoping we hear the explanation for how cozying up to Iran, Hezbollah and Sadr fits in with his expression of appreciation for American sacrifice.

 Maliki at AllExperts
The Maliki madhab (Arabic مالكي) is one of the four schools of Fiqh or religious law within Sunni Islam.
There is, technically, no rivalry or competition between members of varying madhabs, and indeed it would not be uncommon for followers of all four to be found in a randomly selected American or European mosque.The other three schools of thought are Shafi, Hanafi, and Hanbali.
This source, according to Malik, sometimes supersedes hadith, because the practice of the people of Medina was considered "living sunnah," in as much as the Prophet migrated there, lived there and died there, and most of his companions lived there during his life and after his death.

 Maliki's Death Warrant
There is a range of actions that Maliki could take to improve the information he receives, demonstrate his intentions to build an Iraq for all Iraqis and increase his capabilities.
In its creation, Maliki would need to be willing to risk alienating some of his Shia political base and may need to get the approval of Ayatollah Sistani for actions that could split the Shia politically.
Maliki is a prominent member of the Dawa party which has a long history of anti-Western activities.

 Maliki and Sadr: An Alliance of Convenience - Council on Foreign Relations
Maliki relies on Sadr, who controls a large bloc of parliamentary seats, for political support and can ill afford to alienate his religious and conservative base.
As he grows increasingly isolated from his American benefactors, says Kenneth Katzman of the Congressional Research Service, Maliki is reaching out more to clerics like Sadr and the Supreme Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani to seek support in curbing the violence.
Others say Maliki is bound to clash with U.S. officials given that recent security operations and door-to-door searches in Baghdad and elsewhere have focused heavily on Shiite areas.

 unbossed.com » Who's to blame that Maliki can't govern?
It was abundantly clear the moment that Maliki's name was floated as the favored "compromise" candidate that he was likely to turn out a disaster.
The collapse of Iraq under Maliki is the predictable consequence of his appointment, and George Bush bears primary responsibility for it.
Maliki and those around him are naturally inclined to distrust new actors, and it may take strong assurances from the United States ultimately to convince him to expand his circle of advisers or take action against the interests of his own Shia coalition and for the benefit of Iraq as a whole.

 Maliki feels Shiite fury over bomb slaughter - World - smh.com.au
After meeting his advisory security council, Mr Maliki issued a joint statement appealing for peaceful reconciliation, but also said Iraq's politicians were largely responsible for the surge in violence that had engulfed the country over the past week.
Iraqis, and Mr Maliki's sponsors in Washington, decry the Prime Minister's failure to rein in militants.
Mr Maliki in turn seems irritated by a lack of compromise by Sunnis and by Shiite allies, such as the Mahdi Army leader and cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, on whom he is dependent for his own position.

 Iraqi Premier Denies U.S. Assertion He Agreed to Timelines - washingtonpost.com
Maliki's comments came a day after U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said the prime minister had agreed to timelines for accomplishing several critical goals, including developing plans to deal with militias, amend the constitution and equitably distribute Iraq's oil revenue.
Maliki's comments followed a deadly early-morning military raid in Sadr City, a teeming Shiite slum in eastern Baghdad with more than 2 million residents loyal to the charismatic anti-U.S. cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
Despite Maliki's tough reaction to suggestions that his government would bow to benchmarks and timelines to rein in militias, the prime minister reiterated at his news conference Wednesday, for the second time in as many days, the government's intention to crack down on illegal armed groups.

 Maliki's mettle
Maliki's “intentions seem good when he talks with Americans, and sensitive reporting suggests he is trying to stand up to the Shia hierarchy and force positive change,” the memo said.
Among the concerns voiced in the memo was that Maliki was surrounded by a small group of advisers from the Shiite Dawa Party, a narrow circle that American officials worry may skew the information he receives.
Thus, Maliki may be -- passively or knowingly -- aiding a consolidation of Shia power in Baghdad.

 TomPaine.com - Maliki Fiddles As Iraq Burns
Maliki, it's becoming clear, is as big a part of the problem in Iraq as al-Sadr and his gang of thugs and murderers.
But President Bush is, well, staying the course with Maliki with all the obstinacy that he's displayed throughout his sojourn in Iraq.
Maliki obviously is never going to have any part of disarming the Mahdi militia, the Badr Corps or any other Shiite militia, as his nation descends into civil war.
