Article 2
Islam is the official religion of the State and it is a fundamental source of legislation . . . No law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam may be established.
Any idea where that statement comes from?
I'll give you a clue.
It's the Constitution of a country in the Middle East. The country's name begins with "I"
Hands up those who said "Iran".
Wrong.
It's Iraq.
This is what Americans are dying for. A country which is an Islamic Republic. A country where Christians are being progressively persecuted, killed and forced to flee the country in increasing numbers while Islam is strengthened and codified in the Constitution.
From where I sit, the man Hussein was not the enemy. The enemy is a creed, a belief system; Islam and the Bush Administration has given the thumbs up to a Constitution which gives ever more support and solace to it, while Christians suffer.
Sorry, I'm not on board with Bush's fiasco.
"Article 2

Any idea where that statement comes from? "
You conviently ommitted the rest of article 2:
{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.}
Your half-truths would be better suited at the DU and the MSM.
