Not to sound like a dick, but you're showing your ignorance about Iraq and Islamic law when you say that. European/American politicians and academics have been making the argument that Islam is uniquely and fundamentally backwards and incompatible with self-rule (to justify their continued occupation and control over Islamic countries- sound familiar?) since like, 1830, and you're reproducing that claim without critically thinking about whether it applies to your own society or actually describes Iraq.

Because most religions, in general, are not compatible with a liberal democracy. There's a reason most (if not all?) successful liberal democracy's have strong separations of church and state. You can have an official state sponsored religion, but that religion must be separate from the rule of law for a liberal democracy to work.
