  abstract = {{I}f  {I}slam  is  given  a  privileged  status  in  most  constitutions  of  the  {A}rab world, religious references coexist alongside other provisions, drawn from the  concept  of  {W}estern  constitutionalism.  {T}his  chapter  examines  the  different forms of constitutional consecration of religion in the constitutions of  the  {A}rab  world  and  claims  that  their  impact  on  the  political  and  legal orders of these countries remains under the close supervision of the secular elites. {T}he inclusion of {I}slam as the religion of the {S}tate into the constitution  therefore  is  as  much  a  way  to  take  into  account  the  religious  values of  the  majority  of  the  population  as  a  political  motivation  to  strengthen the  religious  and  political  legitimacy  of  the  rulers.  {I}t  is  therefore  the  wayfor politics to interfere into the religious sphere more than for religion to interfere into politics.},
