Re: Poll: Muslim youth feel alienated from secular politics but want Islamic laws!
Polls dont lie, but they can be deceptive. I believe there is far more complexity to the issue then can be gleamed through just a few questions.
For example: If you went and asked anyone in a Muslim country “is an Islamic system the best form of governance?” and that was all you asked, then the vast majority will probably say yes… But what that doesn’t tell you is what exactly they understand to be “Islamic” or how a govt should be constituted for it to be considered “Islamic.” Everyone falls on different degrees of religiosity, everyone has a different understanding of their faith and even the terminology that used to describe it.
To draw the conclusion that this poll indicates a single specific conclusion, is assuming far to much from far to little.
Your conclusions about the motvies of the US, are without any merit. For such a broad conclusion, you must have a lot of evidence. You interpretation off things pertaining to the issue does not constitute evidence, its just paranoia.
One could just as easily argue that Muslims themselves could never allow a Caliphate, as they can never be in agreement on who should claim such a title. In fact, Islamic history tells us that for a caliphate to hold so many diverse regions together under one system is a tall order. When ever it has been done, it was with the help of overwhelming military prowess. Otherwise, as soon as one group see’s a weakness, they seize upon and constitute their own kingdoms with themselves representing the caliph.
