High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Freedom of religion in Syria is provided for by the Syrian Constitution. However, the Syrian government imposes restrictions on this right. While there is no official state religion, the constitution requires that the president be Muslim and stipulates that Islamic jurisprudence is a principal source of legislation. The constitution provides for freedom of faith and religious practice, provided that the religious rites do not disturb the public order.
