Re: What Islamic Ummah?
it is not about which islamic version is correct. there is a fundamental problem when you use a certain religion to be your guiding principle in governing a state. you are exhibiting a certain level of discrimination right there and then against your minorities who belong to some other religions. Imagibe USA becomes a christian state and starts dictating everyone based on the bible learnings and jesus teachings. muslim will be first one to cry for seculat secular
second, there is absolutely no way that particular religion can give you answers to all the problems and therefore you will need to give a lot of power to religious entities who can then interpret based on what they like. This takes the parliament out of the question where everyone is supposed to debate and build consensus. as a result, religious entities will become more and more powerful and they will not be answerable to anyone. we saw the same dynamics in Europe where church got more powerful than anyone else and finally got destroyed. we are seeing the same dynamics in Saudi Arabia and Iran now. this is what a religious state is…
pls stop living in a bubble.
