We don't ALLOW them anything. They decide on their own constitution. Have you read their constitution? Note Article (2)(b) and (c)
Article (2):
1st -- Islam is the official religion of the state and is a basic source of legislation:
(a) No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam.
(b) No law can be passed that contradicts the principles of democracy.
(c) No law can be passed that contradicts the rights and basic freedoms outlined in this constitution.
2nd -- This constitution guarantees the Islamic identity of the majority of the Iraqi people and the full religious rights for all individuals and the freedom of creed and religious practices.
Article (7):
1st -- Entities or trends that advocate, instigate, justify or propagate racism, terrorism, "takfir" (declaring someone an infidel), sectarian cleansing, are banned, especially the Saddamist Baath Party in Iraq and its symbols, under any name. It will be not be allowed to be part of the multilateral political system in Iraq, which should be defined according to the law.
2nd -- The state will be committing to fighting terrorism in all its forms and will work to prevent its territory from being a base or corridor or an arena for its (terrorism's) activities.
TWO: RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
PART ONE: RIGHTS
FIRST: Civil and political rights.
Article (14): Iraqis are equal before the law without discrimination because of sex, ethnicity, nationality, origin, color, religion, sect, belief, opinion or social or economic status.
The recently approved Iraqi constitution is a remarkable document. As someone who has lived 5 years in Saudi Arabia and two in Iran, this constitution stands alone in the region (except for Israel) as the most democratic edict ever written. If the Iraqis abide by it, there will be no terrorism against America.
Don't worry.
there is one and only one dirty word in the world, and that is Islam.
Tomas won't ever be happy with the Iraqi Constitution as it stands.
Guess that means IT'S A GOOD THING!!

HOOOAH!!
