Outsiders and the few Iraqi liberals worry mainly about this Islamic provision, but the widespread Sunni opposition to the constitution is aimed at other provisions: the exclusion of the “Saddamist Ba’ath Party” from political life and government, and the federalist provisions that grant autonomy to the 18 Iraqi provinces and allow them to combine into regional governments.
外部人士和伊拉克为数不多的自由派人士主要担心这一伊斯兰条规，但广大的逊尼派对宪法的反对则是集中在其他的规定上：将“萨达姆社会党”（ Saddamist Ba’ath Party）排除在政府和政治生活之外；以及赋予伊拉克的18个省自治权并允许它们建立地方政府的封建规定。
