Hi tejek, to be fair, your article said that "Islam was to be the source for Iraqi legislation". It did not say that Sharia law would be imposed.

Turkey does not impose Sharia law, but Islam is the source of their legistlation.

It is a fine line, but there is a HUGE difference. One is a true Muslim democracy with respect for Muslim tenets, but still is compatible with Western beliefs in human rights. The other, Sharia law, crosses the line on human rights and would be viewed by Western countries as a repeat of the Taleban and not compatible with modern civilization.

Sistani is the chief Shia leader in a Muslim country. How could he say anything OTHER than the constitution must absolutely use Sharia as its basis. Any religious leader would say the same thing.

I'm sure the pope would say every countries laws should conform to and not contradict Catholic teachings (ie, no condom usage and no abortions). To say otherwise would be anti-religious, and the pope can't be that way....
