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.

LOL. You quote the Constitution of Iraq to prove that Sharia law is not imposed in Iraq! That's like quoting to the American consitution to prove that we still have gun rights and property rights in the U.S. The reality is much different.
Sharia law is indeed being "imposed" on the unwilling. See here (courtesy of that pro "Code Pink" site, Jihad Watch).
Baghdad (AsiaNews) -For the past ten days, no one has been able to drink or buy alcoholic beverages in Najaf because of a bylaw adopted by local authorities. The decision comes as the latest in a series, suggesting that Sharia is being slowly implemented in Iraq, and that it also applies to non-Muslims.
Najaf is considered a holy city for Shia Muslims because the first Shia imam and fourth caliph, Ali ibn Abi Talib, is buried there. Because of the city's special nature as a Shia holy city, the provincial council ruled unanimously that "drinking, selling or transporting alcohol of any kind in whatever quantity" was inappropriate since such activities are incompatible with Islam. Violators, even if they belong to another religion, face the possibility of being sued before a court. The ruling applies to the city of Najaf and its province and includes a ban on advertising.
