Cleric: Islamic Law From State
(Awene)
Ali Bapeer, the head of an Islamic party in the
Kurdish parliament, told Awene that Islamic law
should play a key in the running of the country. He
said that some Muslims wrongly think that their
religion is like the Christian faith which can be
separated from politics. He warned that secularists
have exploited this misunderstanding and deceived
Muslims.

Sulaimaniyah-based independent newspaper issued
weekly.)
