Re: Bangladesh amends war crimes law, mulls banning Islamists
It is not enough to Use islamic terminology to make a constitution islamic.
Islamic republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pakistan was the first country to adopt the adjective “Islamic” to modify its republican status under its otherwise secular constitution.
aside from wikipedia confirming pakistan constitution is secular
the pakistan constitution mentions laws should not be in conflict with Islam – however parliamentarians can make the laws and check (they dont check by the way) they comply with islam. This contradicts Islam, if you accept parliament to decide on laws this makes them the legislator, rather than Allah
in article 2 of the constitution, Islam is viewed NOT as a divine source of legislation but as “the state religion of Pakistan”.
this no different than Denmark as an example:
Folketinget - Chapter 1 - The Form of Government
section 4 states lutherian christianity is state religion of Denmark.
yet everyone agrees denmark fully secular.
Even in American occupied Iraq they have allowed same sentence in Iraq constitution
Article 2:
A. No law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam may be established.
In Afghanistan the american made constitution it states
Article 3 “no law can be contrary to the beliefs and provisions of the sacred religion of Islam”
The Americans who proof checked these constitutions know these terminologies are just words and no chance islamic state to be established in practice in an otherwise secular constitution.
