The inherent problem with political ideologies is that all claim to work in favour of the people, but this deferrment of power leads to all these problems.
I used to have faith in the press-in that they could keep tabs on those who hold power. However, it has become quite apparent that those who hold power can purchase media outlets and control them. One of the great things about Islam, is that Islam does not encourage one political philosophy over another. It gives people the liberty to design political systems which are current to the times. Hundreds of years ago, monarchy appealed to people and other political systems may not have been appropriate for them. Some people still want their lives ruled by a ask-no-questions king(George Bush). Nowadays, monarchy are considered tyrannical and prone to corruption. |

Yeah the Green Book IS good!!!! his criticism against western "democrazy" were argued well...however i personally didnt understand all the aspects of how the "jamahariyah" works.... He is kind of leaning toward "socialism" and i think all these manmade ideologies tell 1/2 truths....it all goes back to islam... the islamic government begins in the heart of the indivisual and if it is firmly rooted it will eminate to soceity and benifit society... Bro Megatron u said Islam does not favor one system over the other....thats false...that is one of the lies that has been spread by the enemies of Islam throughout the ummah... Islamic government is what islam favors...U should Read "ISlam and Revolution" (writings and speeches of Imam Khomeini)...good book... Monarchy has never been islamic and goes against the principles of Islam

Assalmualikum, The Green Book was written Muammar al-Qaddafi, you are right about that. I would like to ask you a question, what do now about him? Did you now that he does not believe in the Sunh also in some part of the quran. Quaddafi has no Islamic principles. Do you now how many young man are in jail as we speak in Libya! 50,000 FROM the age of 15 to 30 years. thier only crime is that they prayed Fajer in the Masjed or the have long beard. |
