مفهوم الدين و اهميته في الدستور الجزائري

Successive Algerian constitutions state that “Islam is the religion of the state,” but the concept of religion has different meanings in both Islam and the West. By analyzing the concept of religion in the light of the current Algerian constitution, we note that it does not go beyond glorifying and respecting Islam. Moreover, the official practice that appears in Algeria's adoption of international human rights instruments of a general nature, its concept of religion is in stark contrast to the Islamic concept, and to informal practice. All this leads us to say that the current constitution has adopted the Western concept of religion and not the Islamic concept.
