1. I read some of the draft constitution today...
Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 03:16 PM by Guy Fawkes
Article 2 part 1 a bothers me. "No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam."

So does Article (17): 1st - "Each person has the right to personal privacy as long as it
does not violate the rights of others or general morality."

5. It's not an Islamic theocracy
It's a faith-based democracy. He wants the same thing at home too.

8. We should try it here. If we can't agree on a new constitution
This government has to disband and we have to elect whole new group.
