First of all, you are confusing a constitution with laws. They are distinct entities, with the former guiding and informing the latter. Thus it is entirely possible for them to lay down some basic rights in the constitution, even some that are distinctly contrary to Koranic teaching, and also decree that the laws be consistent with Islam. Obviously this places limits on what Islamic teaching can be come law.

Secondly, we did not fight a war so that we could create an exact clone of the U.S. We're not perpetuating anything in Iraq. At worst, we are allowing things to continue so that we can accept progress towards an ultimate goal. It's not unlike the founding of this country. Many people we against slavery but they understood that unifying the country was, at the time, more important.

First, they are incorporating the Koran into the Constitution by reference.

Second, you cannot keep comparing the founding of our country to Iraq. Our founding we did ourselves. Theirs is being done after we fought a war for them (and us) and they are doing so under our protection (and occupation). And they are even less historically prepared to do so than we were 229 years ago. And beside that they are saddled with a religion that calls for beating women and killing Christians, Jews and other infidels (us).
