nice to see that it works in Canada but my point is there are going to be examples where it does (like Canada according to you) and does not work (like the USA) just like the caliphate there are going to be examples where Dhimmis were abused but is NOT what islam teaches ... the Caliphs are human and there for i cant guarantee anything like you 'can' (but from Islamic sunni teaching the Mahdi would before the end times)

you said "representative democracy is a guarantee" ... but not in the USA "since his rigged election"

there is no question that western democracy has went the wayside since his rigged election, but I'm Canadian and I'm voting NDP, the party in favour of immediate withdraw from afghanistan.

representative democracy is a guarantee, no taxation without representation. in other words the old man in the st

cant tell the future if caliphate would be just and fulfill the guide lines set out by Islam, or if it would not fulfill it obligations as a ruling of Caliph, i can say that Sunni Muslims(80% of the muslims population) believe, from Islamic teachings, that there would be a just ruler towards the end times know as the Mahdi ... in other words there is no guarantee this clip was to show how the model khilafah would be

madeconstudent (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

sure there will be a story where a muslim helps a jew because it is the right thing. but that doesn't mean that a khilafah is better than democracy. where is there any guarantee that this how all people will act under khilafah

In fact, the European country in which i live in, they are starting to force the Muslims and others believers in their schools to accept Darwin's Theory! They are forcing my sisters to discard the Hijab clothing under the threat of expulsion!! Now much of the sisters have given up hope that it will ever change to their advantage! See, we are not even allowed to educate our children within the Islamic framework!!

If you had listened to the Sheikh, you would have known that rights that have been given BY Islam(7th century) to other religions is in-comparable to the so-called "religious freedom" that we have in the Liberal western tradition (21th century)!! We are forced to accept the rule of the Majority!
