BAGHDAD, Aug 22 (Reuters) - A draft constitution for Iraq to be presented to parliament on Monday will make Islam "a main source" for legislation and ban laws that contradict religious teachings, members of the parliamentary drafting panel said.
How many conservatives argue that Christianity is "a source" (which is, as I said, a big improvement over "the source") for our own laws and Constitution. It is to be expected in Iraq that it is simply enshirined in the document.
And there are many other things in the constitution (according to Iraq the model there is a clause about issuing "no laws that are against the values of democracy and human rights" in there as well) we can be proud of and might make our efforts pay off.
The ink isn't even dry and some people are ready to throw up there hands and lock themselves away forever.
