Some disaster. Read any newspapers lately?

Either you a strangely perverse view of what disaster means or you haven't "read" anything about the imposition of Sharia law (with active U.S. support) in previously secular Iraq. If the latter is the case, see here. Either you don't care about the systematic cleansing of ancient Iraq's Christian population by the Shi'te regime since the fall of Saddam or haven't "read" about it. If the latter is the case, see here.

Spreading your Code Pink talking points again? Tell it to ronpaulforums. They probably have a few who are gullible enough to believe that pap.

Iraq has established Islam as its official religion (and I oppose that, but nobody asked me), but they have not imposed sharia law. Read it from the Constitution of Iraq:

"Article 2:

First: Islam is the official religion of the State and it is a fundamental source of legislation:

A. No law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam may be established.

B. No law that contradicts the principles of democracy may be established.

C. No law that contradicts the rights and basic freedoms stipulated in this constitution may be established.

Second: This Constitution guarantees the Islamic identity of the majority of the Iraqi people and guarantees the full religious rights of all individuals to freedom of religious belief and practice such as Christians, Yazedis, and Mandi Sabeans."

No country that imposes sharia law would have alcohol being legal (to include nightclubs and bars), a westernized family court system, no dress codes for women and women in government positions of authority.

So, while Iraq does name Islam as its official religion, and there is strong evidence that the Mullahcracy in Iran wants to impose that garbage on Iraq, it has not happened.

Get your facts straight before you pull MSNBC stunts using false information to make your Code Pink points, please.
