It's a mixed bag, they also have statements in the Constitution guaranteeing freedom of other religions, etc.
It certainly would have been better without that, the last thing we want is to create an Islamic Republic Iran style.
In Iraq the Kurds and Sunnis hopefully won't let radical Islam take over.
But this is another reason why we MUST stay in Iraq for quite a long time, otherwise the radical Islamists would fill in the vacuum and overtake the country.
"Mixed bad" is apropos...
If the Koran supercedes ALL "law," than Iraq's "constitution" isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
"In Iraq the Kurds and Sunnis hopefully won't let radical Islam take over."
What's misunderstood is much of the constitution is subservient to the Koran. It won't take "radical" factions to subvert (or uphold) Sharia Law.
