Re: What Stops Muslim countries from being totally and completely Islamic?
as much as blind kids here will like to deny this, muslims are not a homogenous entity. even within the sunni sect there are atleast 7-9 sub sects. The barelvis in pakistan for example are different then the hanbalis. One would not let the other dominate, and they have to coexist, hence the washed out laws you see that are “islamic” in pakistan. kids here would like to tell you that this is not the case, when this essentially is the case all over the world.
plus there are other personal motives, business motives, criminal motives, greed etc. they are human beings and this has nothing to do with god or their respective view of islam.
