No surprises here. You didn't actually READ the Iraqi constitution. Under islamic law, apostasy IS a crime.
Islamic law when implemented DOES NOT differ from region to region. If you were at all familiar with it, you never would have claimed otherwise.
Article (90):
2nd -- The Supreme Federal Court will be made up of a number of judges and experts in Sharia (Islamic Law) and law, whose number and manner of selection will be defined by a law that should be passed by two-thirds of the parliament members.
Text of the Draft Iraqi Constitution - 2
CHAPTER ONE: BASIC PRINCIPLES
Article (1): The Republic of Iraq is an independent, sovereign nation, and the system of rule in it is a democratic, federal, representative (parliamentary) republic.
Article (2):
1st -- Islam is the official religion of the state and is a basic source of legislation:
Pay attention here:
(a) No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam.
Of course you don't have a clue as to what that means, but the rest of the thinking world does.
Okay, so why do women drive cars in Turkey, but not in Saudi Arabia? Why are there multiple schools of Islamic jurisprudence corresponding with sect and geographic location? It is so incredibly obvious that you are wrong.
No surprises here. You didn't actually READ the Iraqi constitution. Under islamic law, apostasy IS a crime.
Apparently I'm not the one who hasn't read it. You're really selective.
"First, Islam is the official religion of the state and is a basic source of legislation:"
Notice, a basic source of legislation.
"No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam"
Undisputed rules. It also doesn't state that all Muslim laws must be enforced.
"No law can be passed that contradicts the rights and basic freedoms outlined in this constitution."
This is the one that blows you out of the water, because among those rights and freedoms is (I've hilighted for the reading-impaired):
"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."
"Iraqis are equal before the law without discrimination because of gender, ethnicity, nationality, origin, color, religion, sect, belief, opinion or social or economic status."
"Iraqis are free in their adherence to their personal status according to their own religion, sect, belief and choice, and that will be organized by law."
"The followers of every religion and sect are free in ... the practice of their religious rites ... the administration of religious endowments and their affairs and their religious institutions"
"The state guarantees freedom of worship and the protection of its places."
"All bodies or practices are forbidden which use racism, terrorism, denouncing people as non-Muslim..."
Wow, no less than six guarantees of religious freedom, protection from those who would want to kill or repress non-Muslims. That's far more than we have in our own constitution. If we had a Christian version of the last in our own laws, a lot of FReepers would be in jail.
