Is there some strategy here? I can't help but thinking this is very bad... maybe the polls are reflecting this? People supported the war that was supposed to bring freedom.. not the war that was going to install an Islamic dictatorship..
What was the point of liberating Iraq if we're just helping to install another Islamic theocracy?
So what the heck does this mean?
Sharia law by default?
Before you democrats chuckle, I wouldn't vote you in office on a bet.
You left out the part where there are two sources that new laws must be checked out against... Islamic Law and Democratic principles/human rights.
Also, the Islamic principles the vague language they used leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
Inshallah, Allahu Akbar.
America as the midwife of a Sharia state.
Goodness.
Did people think the Iraqi legislators would dawn powdered wigs and draft on constitution based on Christian ideology like our founding Fathers did?
So that's what 1800 soldiers died for. F&$# 'em. Let's get out of that country and kick the Islamofascists out of ours.
>>ban laws that contradict religious teachings,
So much for ladies bare limbs, or barbers who shave beards, video stores showcasing hollywood/bollywood, or liquor stores.
The days of having a beer and fried fish on the banks of the Tigris, with a woman companion dressed in a western outfit in the most secular, technocratic society of the Muddled East are over.
Too bad we've abandoned the secularists and modernists.
Well its no longer a question bring the boys home...No sense being there if their not protecting freedom, because they are officially not now.
the war is officially a failure.
Well, then, just fookem! We should have just given them a great big glass parking lot. I have no more compassion left, for anyone's kids, but mine.
They claim to be an ancient civilization, but, they ain't progressed a decade beyond their starting point, could be that it is the best they can do. Don't show me any more pictures of pitiful,little,abused, and neglected babies,my emotions are focused on my own.
All this and what do we get? The beginnings of a theocracy. Don't worry, I'm sure Bush will try to spin this over the next week. Isn't the plan over the next 5 days to presents even better excuses for the police action?
More MSM misrepresentation.
Please do not change headlines.
The article doesn't say anything we didn't know long ago. They'd already planned on saying no law can be against Islam, but they would also lay out a basic set of human rights that no law (even those supported by Muslim fundies) could violate. We'll see how it panned out.
Depends on what they mean by 'conform to Islam.' Seems to be more than one school of thought on that.
So, at the cost of billions of dollars, we just made West Iran.
Everybody calm down. This is Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld we're talking about, not the RATS. Everything will work out fine. They've gotten us this far with overwhelming success. Don't go wobbly now that the end is nearly in sight.
Hey, so long as the women have no more rights than an end table, all is good?
