- Religious legislation is a deeply rooted historical phase in the structure and identity of the Syrian state; thus, it must be acknowledged and revisited in our time, as long as there is a need for it.
- We consider religious legislation to be one of the sources of legal legislation and a fundamental right of society.
- Civil law, originating from the people of the nation, represents a civilized approach that can disentangle sectarian and religious pluralism from the application of religious laws, through peaceful means.
- National interest does not contradict religious objectives. If a contradiction appears, it is often imagined—resulting either from a failure to correctly identify the true national interest or from the selection of an incorrect religious ruling.
- Resolving the legislative entanglement is essential and necessary to disarm the narrative of violent organizations and to safeguard the nation—now and in the future.
