Probably because Muslims consider themselves slaves (see, e.g., the writings of Abu Loren elsewhere on this forum). Slaves to Allah. Since Allah, of course, is invisible and imperceptible, Muslims need to find some living, breathing, representative of Allah on Earth to enslave themselves to. That's why we see this yearning for a Caliph (Islamic State), or 'Supreme Leader' (Iran).

That's why we see this yearning for a Caliph (Islamic State), or 'Supreme Leader' (Iran). What a load of rubbish. Muslims don't need nor look for living, breathing representative of Allah on earth. From all of your posts you know absolutely nothing about Islam but you write as if you are a scholar. Why don't you shut the F up?

So how is a dictatorship an Islamic thing? And how is your Western Democracy a good thing?

The Prophet (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallm) said that all Muslims should obey and follow their leaders even if he was an Abyssinian slave.

If you ever go to a country where the majority are Muslims then you will find that the people are very happy indeed with the status quo. All the problems are generated by foreign, particularly Western manipulation. If the Western countries minded their own f*ing business then the world would be a safer and better place to live in.
