Jordan: Muslim leader says democracy is forbidden in Islam

He must have been reading Islamophobic literature -- after all, Muslim spokesmen in the West constantly tell us that only greasy Islamophobes believe such things. They never explain, however, how so many Muslim clerics misunderstand Islam in the same ways. "Democracy, Elections are Forbidden in Islam: Salafist Leader," by Alaa Elayyan for AmmonNews.net, January 6 (thanks to all who sent this in):

AMMONNEWS - The Jordanian leader of the hardliner Salafi Jihadi current said that democracy in its concept as "ruling of the people by the people" is in contradiction with Islam's concept of the sovereignty of God's law.

Abd Shahadeh, known as Abu Muhammad al-Tahawi said in statements to Ammon News that democracy in its common conception is forbidden in Islam, where sovereignty and ruling belongs to God's law and not people's authority.

Al-Tahawi considered the upcoming Jordanian parliamentary elections, slated to be held on January 23rd, as forbidden and contradictory to Islamic Shariah, because "the parliament legislates laws and regulations that contradict God's law," according to his expression.

He's right...The only authority in Islam, is Allah and his chief henchman Mahound...The only law code is sharia, and it is an absolute mirror of Allah's will that cannot be challenged...
Democracy has the power to challenge Allah's word, so it must be denied...Anyone who tries to push it is an apostate and should be killed...
Unless of course it is a form of taqiyya seeking jizya...Then an original reproduction is allowed
as long as the jizya rolls in...

Good, I hope all Muslims in the western world take it seriously & get out of our democracies. Go back to Dar al-Islam, do us all a favour.

Instead of getting out of all democratic countries and back to the stone age allah lands, the favor Muslims want to do is impose sharia on us which is Mo/allah's autocracy!!

He hasn't been following how it's democracy in places like Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Kuwait and other places that is catapulting Islam to power?

Moron!!! Actually, the Muslim counterparts to Western morons who thought that democracy was the panacea to all the jihad activities going on forever.

'because "the parliament legislates laws and regulations that contradict God's law," according to his expression.'

But acording to Egypt's minister of religious affairs Mahmoud Zaqzouq, fatwas (Allah's law) should be "be compatible with logic and human nature".

He was talking about the adult breastfeeding stupid mohammedan law.

So the "Muslim leader" says Democracy is forbidden in Islam?

Well, for once, let's take him at his word!
__________________________________________

I don't know whether or not it's "forbidden", but Democracy, or a Constitutional Republic
HAS NO BUSINESS INTERACTING WITH ISLAM.

And further, it has become plain as day that many Muslim countries have no interest in plurality and the rule of law.
_____________________________

Answer? Stop Muslim immigration to the USA, send the malcontents back to their Shariah Paradises and STOP SPENDING/SENDING money to barbarians who have no interest in joining the civilized world.

Enough of the, "debate". Let the fool Muslim have his way; withdraw all personnel, money, advisors, soldiers, etc., etc., and let the Iraqs, Afghanistans, Jordans, Syrias, Egypts, etc., twist in the wind.

Forbidden in Islam? Fine. Let it be forbidden. And let money be forbidden, as well, because that's all they want from, "Democracy", anyway.

Always refreshing when a Muslim is truthful about Islam. If every Muslim were, then the West could cut to the quick far sooner. And so it's obfuscation of what Islam really stands for that's the real problem.

Know Islam, you know it sucks and is incompatible with things like democracy, freedom and equality under the law. Ain't rocket science here.

What an irony. The very religion that claims to distinguish most between God and human beings is the one with the most human beings who haven't a shadow of a doubt that their own conception of God's laws is utterly indistinguishable from God's own conception -- that their minds in that regard are indistinguishable from the divine mind, and thus they have a right to impose their concepts by dictatorial force on everyone else. In that sense, despite its hype as "submission" to God, Islam actually teaches Muslims to confuse themselves with God. If we assume for a moment that God exists, then Islam is blasphemy, and Muslims, insofar as they are orthodox, are the worst blasphemers, because they raise themselves above the human level and arrogate to themselves the right to dictate to other human beings.

Bang on the nail.

Every Mohammedan (but especially the males, because they believe themselves to have the right to dictate to mohammedan females as well as to all non-Muslims, whereas the Mohammedan females are the chattels of their males and only have the right to dictate to non-Muslims) is a little tin allah.

Echoing dda, traeh, you nailed it. Well, when you confuse Mohammed's sock puppet, Allah, with the real thing, assuming such "thing" exists (or even if it doesn't), it can only be all downhill from there. Islam is very good at the "downhill stuff."
