Praise be to Allah, then
In the course of time, the double –scale standards of west become apparent, and prove to people that its secularization, systems , and democracy are based on hostility towards anything that is religious.
Many times westerns speak in a barefaced manner about democracy, call for respecting the word of the people, however, this call in beneath carries many deceits, as they devise the issued rules in parliaments by the representatives of the people although these rules never expressed any opinion of people but express people’s silence. Who says that when you elect someone that he must agree with what you want?
Despite this, they consider the parliamentary legislations as sacred institutions, no body dares to breach, and the justification is that they respect the choice of the acclaimed people, who are innocent of this choice!
Although this western democratic pattern clashes with the principles of Islam that believes that Rule must be from the part of the Almighty, as the Qur’an says,
“His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed be Allâh, the Lord of the ‘Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists)!”. (Al-A`raf:54)
Because He is the one who knows the best for His people and creation, and He has mercy upon them better than their mercy on themselves. According to this, Muslim can not be true Muslim unless he becomes satisfied with the commandments of Allah and submits to Him. If his opinion contradicted the opinions of majority, Then Allah’s rule and His messenger must supercede , as his opinion would be of no weight. All the affairs of Muslims must not contradict with Allah’s commandments and His Prophet –peace be upon him- in order to meet worldly pleasures or human desires that only seek life and forget the Hereafter.
Western democracy-in best forms- is based on not interfering religion in the matters of life, aiming not to contradict it utterly. As the western democratic system does not obligate contradicting religion in every bits and pieces, and it is not necessary that a secular democratic should contradict religion in every part, yet, takes what he needs and judges what he wants, as they believe that we must leave anything related to God for God himself, and what is related to Caesar should be left for him. In other words, if the Almighty gave Caesar a bounty he should not give it back, and since the Divine decree exists, and the holy institution does exist , they have to choose between taking what they want and what they does not, they want to believe in some, and disbelieve in some (others), and would take themselves in a way between!
No wonder! If Democracy meets with truth and right, this is not a praise for it, but it becomes fatal when this democracy contradicts The Divine legislation even in a small thing and considered it as sacred not to be violated.
However, it is strange that one finds the fact that the West is deviating away from his “democratic” base, and refuses it utterly if it met with the demands of any Muslim people of any country. In this case, the West threatens them, and uses sanctions. The West forgot this democracy when Muslim people of one country chose Hamas as a government to their country, the West hurried to dissuade these people away from choosing Hamas, using threats and pressures inclusively and exclusively, so that Hamas may offend its supporters and surrender!
And when Muslim countries chose to boycott a country who didn’t punish its scurrilous transgressors who mocked Prophets-peace be upon them all- they considered it as brutality and barbarism .
One asks, where is democracy, civilization and freedom?, Is it in the British jails in Basra? Or is in the countries who show no respect for Prophets? It became evident that the choices of Muslim countries are utterly refused from those who herald for democracy.
How ugly is the fact that westerns acclaim their commitment to the principles of democracy that contradict not with the religion of Muslims, what is more bitter when you find idiots from those who are enchanted by the western democracy feel proud for that, we hope that these stances and events adopted by the West may open their closed eyes to see the real facts, and to shut their mouths that calls for western slogans, The Almighty says,” Whomsoever Allâh guides, he is the guided one, and whomsoever He sends astray, those! They are the losers” (Al-A`raf:178). May Allah make you and me from those who are guided and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet.
