The Sadrist Movement (Arabic: التيار الصدري al-Tayyār al-Sadri) is an Iraqi Islamic national movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr. The movement draws wide support from across Iraqi society and especially from the Shi'a poor in the country. The most important person in setting the goals and the philosophy of the movement was Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Mohammad Sadeq al-Sadr. A prominent preceding influence had also been Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr. The movement is religious and populist. Its goal is a society ordered by a combination of religious laws and tribal customs. The Islamic Virtue Party is a smaller, rival branch of the Sadrist movement.
During the Iraqi governorate elections, 2009 Sadrists ran under the name Independent Free Movement.
The list received 9.8% of the vote and 43 out of 440 seats, coming third overall to the State of Law Coalition and the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.
During the Iraqi parliamentary election, 2010 Sadrists were part of the National Iraqi Alliance.
Massive strikes
Superior forces
Swarms of offensive vessels
are taking position in orbit
To guarantee
the thundering nightmare
Unleashing their furious
assault capacity
Concept of fear - Total enslavement
Extermination of non-human races
Exploitation for scientific experiments
Irrisistable technical progress
Elite soldiers
known for merciless proceeding
Disembarked
from heavily armored troop-transports
Devastating hordes
turn the atmosphere into a burning chaos
Take no prisoners, head for the objective"
Extinguish the restive renegades,
who fought a hopeless battle
The rebel scum will get
their righteous punishment
By order of the emperor,
a renewal of peace and order
Residing on his throne of honour,
reign of power
His glorious battlefleet,
controlling the imperial routes
Patrolling the frontier,
and expand
Ruling with viciousness in the mind of his subjects
The master of the dark side,
of the all-embracing force
The secret to set the roots
for conquest and enslavement
By order of the emperor,
a renewal of peace and order
Residing on his throne of honour,
eternal reign of power
