The strain of Islam currently practiced in Iraq, both Shia and Sunni, has consistently rejected the wahabbi influence, am I wrong about that?
Our own Constitution had (thankfully) its religious influence. I'm not sure its a bad thing that their religion plays a role, as long as the government doesn't outlaw other religions.
It's just more of the MSM trying to make a story. Judging from FReeper comments, it seems targeted at Republicans.
As has the Iranian strain. Is that any better?
