Sure it is. A lot of its laws are based on sharia, especially when it comes to family law, women's rights, religious freedom, etc.


Let's face it, you don't know a whole lot about Algeria; neither do I, but at least I don't pretend to.
Yet, you claim to know things about me, which I assure you, you do not.


There's a lot I don't know about the Middle East, but what I do know is that saying something like "Algeria is an Islamic country" is an unfounded and ignorant thing to say. Let's just leave it at that, because this thread evidently is not really about the Algerian state.
It walks like a duck, it quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Is it as bad as Saudi Arabia? No. It is still run on islamist principles though.
