The British radical Muslim group Al-Muhajiroun has once again come out against the peaceful assimiliation of Muslims into British secular society with a piece entitled “The Shirk of Voting to Man-Made Law” (thanks to LGF), by “Dr Abu Osama and Dr Abu Ziyaad.” Shirk is the association of partners with Allah — the cardinal sin in Islam. In other words, therefore, Al-Muhajiroun is asserting that to participate in the British political system is to worship false gods. In the article they make it clear that the only form of government acceptable to Muslims is the Sharia, which they consider to be divine law.
Yet even to suggest that Western Muslims may be attached to the Sharia is, as far as American Muslim advocacy groups are concerned, evidence of “Islamophobia.” I guess we’re just not supposed to notice Omar Bakri and Al-Muhajiroun. Pay no attention to the man wearing the caftan, eh?
Unfortunately for the Muslims in the West (who are living in the heartlands of the Kufr and the Shirk), election season is upon us, with voting for the European Parliament, the Mayor of London and the local UK elections taking place on the 10th of June. I say unfortunately because for the real Muslim Muwaahid (true monotheists) this is a time of great pain and sadness as they see how the kuffaar usurp one of the most important Names and Attributes of Allaah (swt), that of al-Hakam al-Adl (the Divine Just Ruler), and direct it to themselves.
However, the greater pain is caused because the people who call themselves by Muslims names and attribute themselves to the Muslim Ummah (falsely), saying that they care for its concerns, participate in these events, choosing, canvassing and even arguing with their Muslim brethren about which Kaafir (disbeliever) they should give their vote to so that they may take office and thereby rule and judge by Kufr (non-Islam). …
Regrettably, of recent has surfaced a more manifest attack against the Islamic ‘Aqeedah and the Tawheed (oneness) of Allaah (swt), in that so-called Muslims and their groupings (like Islamic Awakening (formerly known as Azzam publications) and Al-Muntada) are now calling other Muslims to vote for and choose Kufaar (disbelievers) to come into power, citing examples such as the story of Yusuf (as) and the principles of the “lesser of two evils” to further their cases whilst trying to cloak their actions of Shirk by wearing the negligee of Islamic Shariah in an attempt to look and appear legitimate in the eyes of the Muslims. …
And we have mentioned numerous clear-cut, non disputable evidences before citing that the law is only for Allaah (swt) and that Allaah (swt) is the Supreme Legislator (Al-Musharri). How then can Islam be compatible with Democracy? How then can one engage in the process of voting or choosing an MP within such a system? A system that disregards the commandments of Allaah (swt); a system that performs istihlaal (making halaal what Allaah (swt) has declared haraam), changing the orders of Allaah (swt); Democracy is a system (nizaam) that says to Allaah (swt) “Our majority judgement is better and more wiser than what You (the Creator of man life and the universe) have sent to us in your Qur’an and in the Sunnah of Your Prophet (saw).”
