Reader comment on item: Islamic Law Rules In Iraq
Submitted by Gary Perlstein (United States), Mar 2, 2004 at 17:55

Why didn't the coalition administrators "hold out" for something like the Turkish system?Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
