Islam and the Algerian constitution

The Algerian constitution is based on Islamic religion. The Art 2 said that [Islam is the religion of the state]. The Art 3 [Arabic is the national and official language]. Art 9 [The institutions are not allowed:
- feudal, regionalist and nepotic practices;
- setting up exploitation relationships and dependence links;
- practices that are contrary to the Islamic ethics and to the values of the November revolution].

Also the Algerian President takes the Oath according to Art 76 in the following terms:
[” In the Name of God the Merciful and the Compassionate. Faithful to the great sacrifices and to the memory of our martyrs as well as to the ideals of the eternal November Revolution. I do solemnly swear by God the almighty that I will respect and glorify the Islamic religion…”.

We can also observe the influence of Islam on Algerian constitution in Art 171 [A High Islamic Council is instituted to the President of the Republic and is trusted, in particular, with :
- Encouraging and promoting”Ijtihad";
- Expressing its views in comparison with religious precepts on matters submitted to it;
- Presenting a periodic report of activity to the President of the Republic].

This is what could I reproducing from reading Algerian constitution, maybe there are others articles on, which have relationship with Islamic religion, if you need a free copy (English or Arabic version) of the Algeria's constitution, feel free to post a comment and I will give you one.

Have a nice day.
