Americans Die for Sharia in Iraq
We're creating an Islamic Frankenstein monster
by Justin Raimondo

The Shi'ite slate of candidates for the National Assembly, fresh from their apparently overwhelming victory at the polls, are demanding that the strictures of Islamic law be encoded in the new Iraqi constitution. According to a recent statement issued by the Ayatollah Mohammad Ishaq al-Fayad, a powerful Shi'ite cleric:

"All of the ulema and marja, and the majority of the Iraqi people, want the national assembly to make Islam the source of legislation in the permanent constitution and to reject any law that is contrary to Islam."

In the name of the Bush Doctrine, which lately proclaims "the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in the world," an Islamic theocracy is being installed in Iraq and built up with U.S. tax dollars. The right of women to own property and enjoy full legal personhood, long recognized in the West – and in Saddam's Iraq – will not exist in "liberated" Iraq. America's daughters are fighting and dying in Iraq so that Iraqi women can be enslaved by a medieval religious and legal dogma that reduces them to subhuman status.

I know he's a rightie, but this is a must read, if only to see what a shill Christopher Hitchens is.
