They said Islam is "A" main source, not "THE" main source;
that leaves room for a lot of interpretation.
(At least, that's what I'm hoping. . .)
I am hopeful too. It seems like an important compromise was reached. The important word above is "widely." Also, it gives human rights and values of democracy equal footing. Remember, women make up 60% of Iraq. I doubt they would want to have Sharia law imposed. I think Reuters wants to put the worse spin on it. I believe Iraq will turn out much better than the leftist MSM will ever admit.
It does. Unfortunately, many Islam-haters here have painted the picture of Islam as a monolithic religion. It is not. Sunni and Shi'ite muslims adhere to significantly different doctrinal positions in many areas.
Sharia law is an aspect of Wahabbi Islam, the most extreme and militant sect out there.
Relax. The kook elements of Islam come mostly from the Haddith. Sunnis and Shi'ites both have different levels of loyalties to different Haddith writings, and even different interpretations of various passages of the Koran.
The Kurds also have a power stake in the new government and are even more relaxed in their versions of Islam.
This is not the catastrophe the main stream press is painting.
