So what if the vast majority of Iraqis are Muslim? They can choose to live according to whatever religion they want. That does not give them the right to force the other 5% to conform to their religious beliefs, however. If they don't want women to wear halter tops, they don't need a law against it. They just need to practice their religion and not do that. Church + state = theocracy, not democracy.
