Right. The country is filled with religious freaks who refuse to share space with other religious freaks.
Until they get their idiot religious leaders out of power and relegated to the sideshow, where all pinhead religious leaders belong, Iraq will be a shithole forever. What good is the right to vote when everyone thinks they will burn in hell for voting for anyone but the local Theo-dictators?
Church + State = Unreasoning, dogmatic, inflexible tyrants who base all of their decisions on fairytales, hallucinogenic fantasies, personal prejudices/hatreds and books written by
men claiming to be prophets of "God", under the pretext that you will do as "God" (they) say, or you will, ostensibly, burn in hell.
I'll take the chance that I might burn in hell in the next life, rather than obey such men in this one. There's something about thinking for yourself that just bursts with the sweet smell of freedom.
Thank "God" for the 1st Amendment. (Pun intended.)
