“Democracy is Islam! No ifs, no buts, you want Islam, you must have democracy first. And last.” (Dr. Pasha)
Everyone knows it is open season on Islam. Of course, turkey and deer season in some parts of the world is not too far off either.
That means anyone from any background, and proceeding from any combination of motives, is free to shoot their mouth in any direction they please on Islam and things Islamic.
And they will be none the worse for doing that.
And that includes friends, enemies and innocent bystanders.
That is why the word Shari’ah gets bandied about a lot these days. By friends and foes alike. […]
We call on the world – the entire world, Muslim as well as non-Muslim; in the East as well as in the West – to declare and celebrate WORLD DAY OF DEMOCRACY.
For, democracy is Islam and Islam is from Allah!
And it is the first day of Presidential Elections in Egypt.
Islam was sent into this world by the maker and master of the world to guarantee basic freedoms and rights to all human beings, regardless of their race, gender or religion. […]
Much water has flown down many a river in the so-called Middle East since a cowardly and spineless Ben Ali of Tunis stole the wealth of the Tunisian People and ran away to hide in a rent-free mansion in Jiddah nearly a year ago.
The expectation was he would do the needful: run tanks over the protestors and turn Tunis into a vast Golgotha, full of Muslim gore and crushed bones. Like the Algerian military and its foreign Colonial Masters had done in the 1990s with the innocent Algerian Muslim masses. […]
“God above, that is Islam.
People below, that is Islam.
God’s government in heaven — and everywhere else. That is Islam.
People’s government on earth. That is Islam.
People’s elected government, fair and honest and God-fearing, run based on God’s immutable guidance in Scripture. That is God’s Kingdom on Earth.” (Dr. Pasha)
Dr. Pasha has issued a call to world Muslims to observe a World Day of Repentance this ‘Aashoora, 1433.
Muslims are human and as humans they have done many things over the centuries that are contrary to the best interests of Islam, Muslims and the World. […]
This A’ashura 2011, this month of Muharram 1433, this time thinking of the land of Karbala, I have a question.
What did American Revolutionary Patrick Henry and Islamic Revolutionary Husain have in common?
Love of Liberty! That is what!
And then I have another question.
What did America of the 18th Century and Karbala-Iraq of 7th Century have in common?
A shared struggle for Liberty and a determined revolt against Tyranny.
Henry cried: “Give me liberty or give me death!”
Husain embodied that message and paid the ultimate price for it – his life.
Henry said: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!”
I just cannot shake off those words: “Forbid it, Almighty God!”
They haunt me wherever I go.
Henry went on: “I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Husain chose death over slavery and bondage.
“Live free or die!” is the official motto of the American state of New Hampshire.
Husain decided to die free. […]
“There are those among Muslims who would like to graft Democracy onto Islam.
They say Islam is good and it is from God – from the East, they say.
And they say Democracy is from the West – and it is good, they say.
And then they say, wouldn’t it be nice if we married them off: Islam and Democracy together; Islam from the East and Democracy from the West.
What these Muslims – many of them good Muslims – don’t realize is that Islam is about People and their freedom and Democracy also is about People and their freedom.
That means both Islam and Democracy are Islam – together and inseparable.
And that which is about People and their rights is from God, no matter by what name you call it.
It is Islam.
Therefore, Muslims don’t need to marry one to the other. All they need to do is to understand their Islam properly and practice it fully.
For, that is Democracy.
And that is also Islam.” (Dr. Pasha)
“I sometimes think: What would it take for Muslims to see the obvious?
What would it take for Muslims to realize that Islam is Democracy and Dictatorship is Haram?
And it makes no difference whether it is a military or civilian dictatorship, or whether it is a hereditary monarchy or kingship of some kind.
They are all Haram in equal measure. And they are all equally antithetical to Islam.
For, they are all various faces of pharaoh and Pharaoh and Islam do not mix.
They are all, in their own way, basically anti-People and therefore essentially and irrevocably anti-Islam and anti-God.
The only government that is allowed by Islam is the one that is instituted – put in place – by the People with their full, free and informed consent.
And that is totally accountable to the People.
That is Islam.” (Dr. Pasha)
