The majority of youth from Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Yemen - countries that went through a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests that began in December 2010 - feel disenfranchised from the political process in their country, a poll conducted by Al Jazeera Studies Centre has revealed.
The study, published on Monday, also found that most of the 8,045 of women and men aged 17 to 31 surveyed from the four so-called “Arab Spring” nations, did not believe that their recently elected parliaments represented them.
The research, published on Monday, also examined how young people identified themselves in the four countries.** It revealed that youth from Tunisia, Libya and Yemen considered themselves Muslims before affiliating themselves with their nationalistic identities**.
Egypt, however, was the only country where more respondents said they felt Egyptian before identifying themselves as Muslim. About 63 percent said they were Egyptian first, while only 35 percent said they were Muslim first.
**
The majority of the young men and women surveyed from all four countries considered Sharia, or Islamic law, an essential source of legislation.
Support for the implementation of Sharia was the largest among Libyan youth (at about 93 percent), followed by Yemen (89 percent), Tunisia (64 percent), and Egypt (57 percent).**
mashallah good to see rejection of nationalism by the youth a great disease among many muslims sadly, Also they want shariah islamic laws because they have confidence in it even though the colonial states trying their best to eradicate these wishes of theirs.
Re: Poll: Muslim youth feel alienated from secular politics but want Islamic laws!
The youth in arab nations have woken up the fear of living under western imposed dictators is over. The next few years will be interesting will they establish their dream of an islamic state or will it be more misery under yet more hand picked western stooges!
Majority of polls most of these are western initiated poll i should add always indicate the overwhelming majority of Pakistan population want islamic government in some form.
Re: Poll: Muslim youth feel alienated from secular politics but want Islamic laws!
These dimwits wanting religious rule over secular one reaffirms my atheism.
yeah you mentioned that line 10 times already try a new comment.
you can have your secular laws keep it in your western nations no problem. But why you have to bomb our countries invade them occupy them and force them to accept your puppets and hypocrisy democracy with use of physical violence?
Re: Poll: Muslim youth feel alienated from secular politics but want Islamic laws!
muslim youth may want to islamize society, but have not a clue in hell what they mean by it or how to do it. even the ones on this forum who keep parroting the same thing 10 times in every thread they visit - secularism stole my pajamas blahblah
all that keeps happening is these countries getting more and more violent in the name of this jihad and that jihad and their youth slurping up conspiracy theories about the illuminati and free masons.

what has the rulers of pakistan, egypt, morrocco, algeria etc etc who all follow secular laws and constitutions done in past 40 -50 years that's so fantastic for its people have they removed poverty have they progressed the nations? please let us know we waiting with anticipation.
The method to rule by islam is well documented on this forum on many previous threads. For you to claim 2 billion muslims which contain engineers, political thinkers and strategists, economists don't know how to rule by islamic shariah is firstly ignorant and based on no evidence.
Your final point about violence is quite ironic since it is the secular west which routinely invades, carpet bombs puts sanctions on man woman and child in numerous muslim nations and you want to call muslims the violent ones?
More the case you need to stop lying to yourself and the forum.

according to your view Egypt, Algeria, Morrocco and pakistan which all have secular constitutions are now islamic according to your view lol? you need to get a dictionary and find out the meaning of constitution because it is missing from your educational upbringing clearly.
Iraq, afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Lebanon, Kuwait, Sudan, Yemen, Pakistan all carpet bombed and thats just the muslims nations mentioned & conveniently missing from your reply jeeez i wonder why? must be their fault again and the sneaky muslims shift blame according to you! never the fault of United States and its messed up policies.
Re: Poll: Muslim youth feel alienated from secular politics but want Islamic laws!
really.. my bad, i thought it was pakistanis who named their country the ISLAMIC republic of Pakistan. now i realize it was me. so it has been SECULAR republic of Pakistan all along?
most of these countries got buggered because they couldnt live with each other in peace. its that simple. if these hellholes werent full of violent religious bigots who are eager to kill each other, US or no US, they would have been okay.
Re: Poll: Muslim youth feel alienated from secular politics but want Islamic laws!
regardless of the comments of certain individual who are pro American war machine and its massacres across the planet.
the reality is no matter how much violence the Americans use. the Muslims still want Islamic laws and Islamic state as proved by these polls and the public opinion.

When was pakistan carpet bombed by USA or any country except India?
Guess you dont know meaning of carpet bombing? Talk about dictionary eh?
Re: Poll: Muslim youth feel alienated from secular politics but want Islamic laws!
you make it sound like the muslims are dying for islamic rule and the US is preventing them from doing so. typical blame deflection. muslims can’t seem to have islamic rule because they can’t figure out a practical way of implementing it.

Maybe so. But invariably we all have to suffer such responses too.

Typical response. But that's besides the point. What the survey really indicates is that secularism is more or less an ideological no-show in a place like Pakistan. Probably because it was never a poltiical norm.
If you want to bark on about Jihad as if it's occuring in a vacuum, be my guest. For every narrative, there's a counter narrative...and it seems like you've bought the "we didn't start the fire" crap.

Hey ding dong.
I don't know if you know why the good ol' US of A goes around bombing nations, cause it aint got nothing to do with religion.
They invaded Iraq for OIL.
Also, last time I checked Pakistan should be secular becaaaausssseeeee THERE ARE RELIGIOUS MINORITIES LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY!
They shouldnt be forced to have Islamic laws over them cause they don't follow that religion.
Re: Poll: Muslim youth feel alienated from secular politics but want Islamic laws!
US does not want to see an islamic state/ caliphate or whatever you want to call it thats for sure and will do anything to stop that.
yeah... okay. this is what is called delusions of grandeur.
and you are in china - an atheist state that actively suppresses islamic practices like fasting in ramzaan. but china is a very nice and sweet bff for islamic republic of pakistan. amreeka where muslims practice their faith unimpeded is stopping caliphate. open your eyes, frandshipzz..
so it has been SECULAR republic of Pakistan all along?
