Re: Sufi Muhammad: There is no room for democracy in Islam
Sharia-based governance system (khilafa) is better, but for that you need Muslims by actions, not by words.What Taliban did in Afghanistan was not really a 'khilafa'. You can't take Afghanistani Taliban's govt as "Islamic/Sharia-based".
I doubt that. Any state that is run by religious decree by definition is tyrannical especially in which people do not have choice to select their leaders.
BTW, with an exception of Prophet's time, there has never been any stable Islamic based system ever even going all the way back to Khulafa-e-Rashideen era. Even then there were political assassinations like that of Hazrat Omar & the whole shia/sunni rift.
