"Why not keep the context of that?"

THIS is the only "context" you need:

(a) No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam.

Nonsense. If (a) demands enforcement because its in the Constitution, then (b) and (c) must also be enforced. And each will have to be interpreted in a way that they don’t conflict. That’s why context is critical.

In context, it will mean whatever the duly elected repesentatives want it to mean. Every 'rule' of Islam is disputed by one faction or another and saying it also can't dispute the principles of democracy of violate individual rights means whatever the majority thinks best--and the majority will NOT want a government based on strict Sharia law.

What actually are those rules, that's what I'd like to know. Maybe I'll get a translation of the Koran and find out. I'd be surprised if suicide bombings and genital mutilation are part of it, but maybe they are. Does any one know?

There are a lot of good things in this document, but they may all be null and void because of Article Two. Most of all it depends on the quality of the people. They are Arabs, with a millennial history of tribalism, bellicosity, and fanaticism. We'll see.
