re: Without knowing how they categorize "religious groups" and "non-religious groups", the whole discussion seems a waste of time. I'll bet most Iraqis want a "Muslim" state, as opposed to a secular state.

And most want a Muslim state as opposed to a democratic state.

re: Merely stating that "Iraqi law should be in alignment with Muslim values" = you are in a religious political group. Whoop de do. Virtually every Muslim in Iraq is going to agree with that approach.

You are totally ignoring the Muslim religious factions, and of course the Kurds. You are ignoring 1500 years of constant hostility... that certainly isn't lessening these days.

re: There is nothing wrong with "religious political groups" (whatever that may mean) winning all the seats in Iraq, as long as they have another election in four years and let whoever wants to run run. That's the problem with Iran - the mullahs only allow likeminded politicians to run for office, anyone interested in changing the definitions of Islamic Republic to something more modern is banned from the race.

And you don't think that is going to happen in Iraq? Your "there is nothing wrong with religious political groups"; they are killing and torturing each other... that is THE THING that is happening in Iraq. That's the problem Einstein!

I'm sure the news you get is censored, but you should be able to read between the lines for at least some base of reality in your thinking.
