Kurdistan, Politics
(Presstv) - The disagreement between the Islamic and secular parties in the Iraqi Kurdistan region has widened over the drafting of the region's constitution. The secular parties and groups in Iraq's Kurdish parliament are against the inclusion of Islamic laws in the constitution.
A member of the Islamic Party of Kurdistan, Zana Roustaie, has rejected the stance taken by the seculars on the issue as "extremism", saying that Islamic Party and other Islamic groups in the Kurdish parliament will try to incorporate Islamic laws in the constitution. The Kurdistan Islamic Union has also stressed that the constitution should be based on holy Islam.
