Ibrahim al-Jaafari says he will not ask the US and its allies to leave the country, claiming that “blood is being spilled, and the land is under attack.” He also said that Islam should be the official religion yet “one of the main sources for legislation, along with other sources that do not harm Muslim sensibilities.”
As for women’s rights in the new constitution:
He said he supports women’s rights, including the right to be the president or prime minister, as well as self-determination and individual freedoms for all Iraqis.
He is saying all the right things, including publicly discounting his party’s call for “Islamization” of Iraq and he cuts a appearance that is more towards western tastes. But it remains to be seen whether he has the desire and the will to modify Da’wa’s platform.
