Islam is the BEST DEMOCRACY, here is why:
Western Democracy works on majority, while Islamic DEMOCRACY works on individual level.
Let's make it simple and break it down:
- Islam is the nation.
- A Muslim is the citizen of Islam.
- The constitution of Islam is the Quran.
Those three points make a perfect Democracy, because you choose whether you want to become a Muslim or not, no need for voting, no need for majority, while the minority watches and wait until it becomes the Majority etc.
Once you become a Muslim you accept the Quran as your constitution, and govern yourself, and those who want to be under Islam, through Quran, which makes a perfect DEMOCRACY.
Question and Answer:
QUESTION: What are the consequences if you want to revoke your Islamic citizenship, in another word the consequences of Apostasy?
ANSWER:
"Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!"
Noble Verse 18:29
QUESTION: Will non Muslim be taxed extra, hence Jizya?
ANSWER: No, Jizya is simply a tax for those who are not citizens. For example in the US, even if you are not citizen of the US, you still have to pay tax, it is the same in an Islamic Democracy, or an Islamic nation, if you are not a Muslims (Islamic citizen), then you still have to pay tax, that tax is call Jizya.
QUESTION: Is everyone treated the same in this Islamic nation or Islamic Democracy?
ANSWER: Yes, everyone who joins Islam will have to take the Quran as his/her constitution, and therefore will be treated equally using that constitution.
QUESTION: Isn't Islam a Theocracy therefore can't be a Democracy?
ANSWER: No, Democracy ultimately means choice, having the ability to choose who should govern you. That means if you want to be governed by GOD's rule, then let it be, if not, then do as you wish, only GOD can judge you.
When you choose to become a Muslim, that is your choice, that is the Democracy, that everyone in individual level chooses whether to join the Islamic nation or not. Unlike Western Democracy, where lumps of people are forced to choose a representative, and that representative usually makes false promises to gain groups permission to choose how they should live.
Islam allows everyone to choose, not groups, but individuals, GOD knows choice is an important issue therefore have allowed us to choose between Islam and other systems, hence if GOD wanted all of us to be Muslim, we would have been without any say.
QUESTION: How can anyone possibly think you can live inside of islam and not be a muslim and expect to be treated fairly?
ANSWER: The above question is equivilant to: "how can anyone possibly think you can live inside of America and not be an American citizen, and expect to be treated fairly?"
The answer is simply when you rephrase it, you will be treated fairly, but not as fair as the citizens of that nation (Islamic Nation). You have to abide by that nation's laws, even though you are not citizen, and even if you don't agree with the laws.
If you do not agree with the laws of that nation strongly, then you are always welcome to move to an area which governs based on your own ideology.
