Tunisia Rejects Shariah In New Constitution

Tunisia’s governing Islamist party has said it will not support making sharia, or Islamic law, the main source of legislation in a new constitution and will maintain the secular nature of the state.

Ennahda’s stance on an issue that has increasingly polarised the country since its January 2011 revolution was criticised by hardline Islamists who wanted full-blown sharia, but welcomed by secular parties. …

“We are not going to use the law to impose religion,” Ennahda leader Rached Ghannouchi told journalists after the moderate Islamist party’s constituent committee voted to maintain the constitutional article by 52 votes to 12.
