Dirty Greek - The Iraqi Constitution

If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual gay sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. All of those things are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family and that's sort of where we are in today's world, unfortunately. It all comes from, I would argue, the right to privacy that doesn't exist, in my opinion, in the United States Constitution.

- Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA)

Dirty Greek - The Iraqi Constitution

Can be found here, at Fox News. I know, I know, but this is the only place where I see the whole thing.

Also, I've been whining about Islam being called "a source of law" in the new Constitution, but a commentator over at Secular Blasphemy makes a good point.

^"The "universally agreed tenets of Islam" is a hell of an improvment compared to "Islam". Not much is universially agreed in any religion, so that sentence will be unlikely to mean much.
I have to remind you that the Norwegian constitution says:

"The Evangelical-Lutheran religion shall remain the official religion of the State. The inhabitants professing it are bound to bring up their children in the same."

Yet Norway is one of the most secular states in the world.

That is true... but I don't know if you could really compare Iraq to Norway.
