It's unfortunate that they're using religion as the basis for the new constitution, it would be much better to have full separation of the state from any religion. Despite that, it seems like a pretty big step in a positive direction for Syria
- At least it’s a temporary constitution. Hopefully when they create the permanent one they’ll take into account the country’s minority populations and go with something that works for everyone regardless of their religion.
