Syria Adopts Islamist Constitution After Slaughter

Breitbart

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, the leader of the jihadist terror organization Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), signed into law a “constitutional declaration” that imposes an Islamist “temporary” constitution on the country intended to create a legal framework that allows it to function while its new rulers rebuild from the civil war.

“We hope that will be a new chapter for Syria to replace ignorance with knowledge and suffering with mercy,” Sharaa said after signing the new constitution into law, according to the now-HTS-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).

According to SANA, the new constitution “stipulates freedom of opinion, expression, information, publication, and the press, it also emphasizes the State’s commitment to the unity of the land and people and respect for cultural specificities.” It additionally bans any behavior that allegedly “glorifies” the defunct Assad regime.

The HTS-controlled committee that drafted the constitutional text issued its own statement in which it confirmed that the new constitution is Islamist in nature: declaring Islamic law “the main source” of legislation, asserting, “this jurisprudence is a true treasure that should not be squandered.” It creates three separate government powers – an executive, a legislative, and a judicial – but gives Sharaa almost complete power to choose who serves on the temporary legislature intended to carry Syria through reconstruction to a point at which it can competently hold elections. more

  2. “…an Islamist “temporary” constitution…”

    I’d laugh my ass off but there’s damned little humor to be found in the demonic mohammadmen of Syria slaughtering Christians and anybody else who doesn’t SUBMIT.

  3. Egypt is probably next. The CIA won’t be happy until all nations surrounding Israel are completely destabilized. Egypt is ideal for them because a crisis there would involve the Suez Canal which would “require” direct intervention by the United States.
