#2  So how, if Islam is the only source of law, do they deal with that?

That's easy. Blame the United States.

#1  One of the most profound issues that will have to be addressed in the new constitution is whether, as advocated by al-Da'wa Party, Islam should be the only source of legislation or whether it should be one of the sources of legislation as has been established by the Transitional Administrative Law (TAL)which serves as Iraq's interim constitution.

I have a serious question...

I don't think that the mundane aspects of 21st century society is not covered in the Koran. What shall be the speed limit on the highways? (to make an odd example) I don't think the prophet ever envisioned cars going 100km/h. So how, if Islam is the only source of law, do they deal with that?
