The contest was hard-fought and close in Virginia. Its ratification convention voted yes by 89-79. In New York, the vote was 30-27. In both, the promise of a Bill of Rights was essential



How do you think the Iraqi bill of rights will stand up against "No law shall contradict Islam"?

You know if the Shiites didn't comprise 60 percent of the population, then I'd say the Islamic interpreting would be more liberal and modern. But with Shiites, its 7th century all the way.

There are differeing schools of Shi'ite throught just as there are Sunni schools.
Take a look at the views of the people of Iran and compare these to the Mullahs. Most Iranians want change.

There's a big difference between "No law shall contradict Islam" and "The law shall require Islam".
