WI Iraqi population is predominantly Sunni.

POD Selim and consequent sultans are harsher than they where otl, either forcing convention like the Austrians did in Bohemia or expelling Shias from the region or moving Sunnis from other parts of the empire that were lost to the area. Most events of otl happen including the Arab revolt.

How would Iraq being 80%+ arab Sunni effect the country in the 20/21st century.
 
Iraq only became majority Shia in the 19th Century, when in pastoral and agricultural areas the tribes (especially of Southern Iraq) went through mass conversions to Shi'ism.
