[quote][quote]You talk of fundamentalism, reviving a pure Islamic Caliphate. Do you even know what is a pure Islamic Caliphate. There is no such thing, otherwise the prophet would have showed it to us. As soon as he died, infact even when he was alive but on his death bed, the people starting fighting about who will succeed him. The Ansar went one way and Muhajirs the other. It is a miracle and by the will of Allah and clever thinking of Umar and Abu-Bakr and otehr companions, that this did not end up in civil war. This caliphate system that you talk of does not consider the will of the people, but only the will of the influential tribal leaders who choose from amongst themselves and enforce their own will upon the masses. Later the masses are asked to give their allegiance to the 'elected' leader - one who is only elected by a handful of triabal leaders.

The truth is Islam does not define any specific method of governance, it can be democracy, monarchy, dictatorship, whatever - as long as it is just and follows the principles of the Quran.

Please stop living in an ideal world and cope with reality.[/quote]

Also you talk of the Caliphate system as being tested and tried. Because you have only read about it in an idealized form (as is usually taught to Muslims in school books). Please also study the harsher and bitter side of the Caliphates.[/quote]
