“Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.” (Qur’an 4:141)
This is not, you will note, a call for equality of rights for all people.
“Islam should rule, not be ruled, says PAS paper,” by Amin Khairuddin, FMT News, December 19, 2014 (thanks to Steve):
KUALA LUMPUR: Islam in Malaysia is “governed instead of being the governor”, says an editorial in the latest edition of Harakah, the PAS organ.
The article, written in a lamenting tone, is a reaction to the open letter signed by 25 former civil servants, diplomats and scholars who call themselves G25 and who have been hailed in the press as “Eminent Malays”.
Referring to the “continuing unresolved disputes on the position and application of Islamic laws” mentioned in the open letter, Harakah says these disputes arise because the Federal Constitution consigns Islamic matters to the jurisdiction of the states. The states’ powers are “severely limited”, it adds.
This “marginalisation”, it claims, goes against the wish of Muslims to be governed by Syariah laws.
It says the anxiety expressed by G25 strengthens the argument that Islam in Malaysia is “governed” instead of taking its rightful position as the ultimate reference in matters of governance.
It says that although the Federal Constitution gives the state legislatures the power to enact laws pertaining to the administration of religious matters, it limits the jurisdiction of the Syariah courts so that they can deal only with cases involving Muslims and with a limited number of offences. The courts are also limited as to the severity of the sentences they can mete out, it adds.
It laments that hudud laws are not imposed in Malaysia.
“These facts show that Islam in Malaysia is an Islam that is governed, not an Islam that governs,” says the editorial. “Herein lies our deep sadness.”
Citing a 2013 survey conducted by the Pew Research Centre, it says large percentages of Muslims around the world want the Syariah to be the supreme law in their countries and want it to be imposed on all citizens.
“A total of 86% of Malaysian Muslims and 72% of Indonesian Muslims said they wanted Syariah laws,” it adds.

PURE GARBAGE, Who is paying the Pew centre? who gives millions in donations? let me guess…the same countries that are paying our MSM, our academics, our elites and our leaders!!!
Why don’t you ask my people in Egypt? they had a pure islamic government, the Muslim Brotherhood. Why did they throw it out of power? because they did not accept an identity change, they refused to be governed by Sharia law.
Egypt is not an exception, the same goes for Tunisia, Algeria, Libya etc. Most, if not ALL, Muslim populations DO NOT want Sharia. Sharia has been forced upon them. They don’t dare to speak out against it for obvious reasons.
For centuries and centuries Islam itself has been forced upon them. They live in the biggest prison the world has ever known. A prison where they are both the prisoners and the jailers.

But here in the UK people is fascinated by it.

And of course, Egypt was a Christian country, successful, cultural, bountiful and dubbed the ‘Jewel of the Mediterranean.’
Look at it now, and it’s all thanks to Islam, the ‘religion’ that was forced upon the Egyptians by the invading Arabs.

‘A prison where they are both the prisoners and the jailers’
A powerful description of Islam, the perfect circle of death!
Kiwikaffir says
Any state that has those sorts of human rights needs to be crossed off the western states aid list.
duh_swami says
Should rule, is not the same as actually doing it. The longer they ‘should rule’ but don’t rule, the better off we are…
Angemon says
Someone should let this info reach the Western leaders who buy into the “tiny minority of extremists” meme.
Just kidding, they’re so certain of themselves that simple facts wouldn’t be enough to alter their opinions.
