WH says "their will be tension in the Iraqi Courts between women's rights |
|
and Islam since the Constitution says both (1)that women have rights, and that (2) all laws must pass the test of being not contradicted by Islam.
So Women's rights depend on who are the appointees to the Court?
That does sound like a GOP idea.

1. Yes Iraqi women have rights |
|
Rights as guaranteed by Sharia law, in other words less rights then they had under a dictator.

2. The state guarantees as long as it doesn't violate public order and morals |
|
under Islam.
That sure sounds like no rights.
The wording released today has that as long as clause in it - and I would not make a very large bet on women having the rights they had under Saddam.

Who knows what will become of them. All we can say for certain is that they will not have equality, and they will be worse off.

I am sick to my very girlie soul on this.
Got to get The Handmaids Tale out and read it again so I can finish scaring the holy shit outta myself. As woman in this world today, I feel my guard and antenna can NEVER be let down now...never.
