Human has developed in what way only technology and science has developed the man from 1400 years ago needs food, needs to socialise needs to look after family and needs his honour.
Man today is no different only today instead of a horse he has a car. Islam is for all times till the day judgement it is not like Windows 98 it does not need no upgrade!
Democracy is failed system in the west and the people are rioting agains capitalism in the streets of Rome as we speak. How many people in the west bother to Vote they don’t they given up they see no difference between the parties. As for pakistan my goodness they had to force people of buses and point guns at them just so that they would vote in Muharraffs last election!
the Greeks invented democracy thousands of years ago and they gave up on it saying it was impracticle and it caused chaos
in my opinion we can not, rather we should not separate out religion from the state. It will be like keeping double standards in life.
I dont see how a person can live his own personal life encompased by the religous boundaries, whereas when the same person has to make a decision for the whole nation he should be thinking more on secular lines.
or else if you are proposing that all the persons who are practicing religion should be locked inside the mosque/church while let others (athiests) run the state, then in that case whats the big point in dicussing this whole topic!
I don't where you get your analogies from communism is or appears to be religous?
communism is athiesm non religious they say god does not exist.
Capitalist wars are difficult to avoid but religious wars are easy to avoid?
Keep Religion an Politics seperate?
Islam is political it cannot be avoided to take politics out of islam then you abandon 99% of islam and that is not gonna happen.
Capitalist is pure 100% greed and does'nt matter what happens to the people as long as the rich is satisfied then it is all good. Islam on other hand insist all people regardless of status is given basic food clothing and shelter.

I did not said communism to be religious. I called it as "Secular Religion" only because they preach their idealogy just in the same way as religious followers preach their religion. What they say about god dose not matter because their working style resembles to religious extreamists.
You may call Islam to be political for your own political reasons. According to you 99% of Islam is Political. Well to say this is your political requirement.
Capitalist is pure 100% greed but a good secular system based on good ethical values may be better than out dated and obsolete religious system.
Your words: "Islam on other hand insist all people regardless of status is given basic food clothing and shelter. "
This is what socialists say. Instead of joining a religios party, it is better to join a socialist party to achive this goal.
For the sake of knowledge refinement, I should say that not only the technology has changed the human daily routine, it has greater impacts on human idealogy, beliefs, ways of thinking, analyzing etc.
Windows 98 was more scientific and logical than Quran. It needs upgrades, then why Islam dose not needs upgrades? When all religions claim themselves to be velid for all times to come, why I accept islamic such a claim to be true only? Islamic history is full of upgrade claims. To say all such upgrade claims as “Kufr” is not solution. These upgrade claims are the indicators that human phychology is still upgradeable.
Islam recocnizes slavery.
Slavery is considered most inhumane in present day world. Slavery has been abolished in all the present day Muslim World.
This is only one example to prove that upgrades have been made in islam and slavery has been abolished in present day islamic world.
This is the example of present day world. Now consider the example of such upgrades in the starting days of Islam when very cruel punishments mentioned in Quran for certain crimes were replaced with less cruel punishments by the second Caliph of Islam i.e. by Hazrat Umer.** That was a fine example of over rulling even the quranic verses in the light of new situations.**
Even the Quranic verses are believed to be revealed exactly according to changing on ground situations. I am pointing towards the so called “Shan-e-Nazools” of different (almost all) verses of Quarn. In this way Quran itself over rulled its previous verses to confirm to latest on ground situations. When Muslims were in very little minority in Makkah, they were asked to migrate. They were not asked to fight the majority of Makkah. When on ground situation changed, they were asked to fight those who fought them. What is all this. It means that core of Islam is upgradable.
Yes democracy is a failed system. Majority mostly consists of ignorant ppl. So ignorant ppl come in power. It however, has the beauty that it give same importance to every one. Every one has equal rights. Human rights are ensured etc. To overcome the only defficiency, ppl must be educated and they must be given right secular education so that wise ppl come in power.
In Quran there is a verse says that a Muslim must not kill a Muslim, but if he has done so by mistake, and if is pardoned by the nearest relative of the killed, this Muslim can wash his guilt if he frees a Muslim slave? (He will enter old centuries to find a Muslim slave, or slavery is eternal in Islamic world?
Ya, Islam does not need upgrading!
(Ps Ak, my advise, never ask a non Muslim to read Quran, it is not in your favor.)
