Is Islam a dictatorship, rather like Stalinist Russia?

Answer 1

Islam is a religion, not a geographic area or country. While many predominantly Islamic countries are dictatorships, the religion itself is not.

Answer 2

Islam is a religion as well as a way of life.
When people go to Church or read the Bible and are told how the should live their lives etc. People chose not to follow their religions based on the thought that all will be forgiven. If that is the case, why pray? Why ask for forgiveness? Why is there a right or wrong is all is already forgiven? Because no one knows what is in God's mind except he himself.
Muslims follow the Quran, in it contains a way for living your life. Everything from praying, to etiquette to marriage and everything in between. In Muslim/Islamic countries the government is made up of like minded people all of who follow the same religion.
America is made up of mostly Christians, but do they all believe the same thing and do they all try to live life the same way?
So no, Islam is not a dictatorship but a way of life.
And so you know, the Quran also tells people how to deal with issues regarding adultery and murder, it literally has an answer for all aspects of a persons life.

Answer 3

No not at all Islam is a pure democratic religion.

I think u r comparing Religion Islam with some dictator Islamic countries then ur doing wrong. there is no connection between Islam and Islamic dictator countries and please note that there is not a single Islamic country at the moment in this world where u can find a pure ISLAM

But what I think non muslims countries like European and American etc are following Pure Islamic way of government

Answer 4

First of all, you should distinguish between Monarchy and dictatorship. As per selection of ruler, Islam does not force any specific method to select a rulers, Choice of ruler should be with the consent of trustworthy intellectuals of religion and society. Method can vary. Law should be according to Quran and Sunnah irrespective of public opinion or rules desire. You cant call such system as democracy, rather the best word would be theocracy. Islam can't be judged by the methods and actions of muslim rulers. They can be called muslims. but none are really Islamic. I hope this clarifies your doubt.

Answer 5

Islam is a peaceful religion, do not mix Islam and the people living in the middle east. There are serious political problems in the middle east (where Islam as well as most religion were born) this problem in the mid east was created by the colonisation and I will not get into the details of that. If your house is destroyed, your children are killed in front of you, your family prisoned with no clear accusation, you loose your job, as the occupation destroyed your business...what do you expect your reaction would be? what this people in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon ....got left is their believe and then it is not enough!! the west started to insult their believe like what happened by this newspaper in Denmark, G Bush insulting a whole 1.2 milliards by saying "Islam Fascist" and finally the Pope's comment... The west is pushing it to the limit and a normal human being who still got some self respect got to respond. If someone destroy my house, kill my children, steal my land, ..and the court failed to establish justice; then I will try to sort it by myself!

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD NOW IS POLITICS...NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION.

CHURCHILL ON ISLAM

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!" - beginning of a quote from Winston Churchill...

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."
-Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).

Islam Islam BEST Religion

Answer 9

no islam is a good religion like christianity.
its the people that preach the religion and change the context of what is written to their ends.
Stalin was a dictator and his word was law you could not argue against the dictator and if you did you went missing.
this also applys to saddam,idi amin,and numerous others that have the final say with a gun.
i could not write what i want about a dictator in that country because i would be shot so our democracy is worth fighting for.

Answer 10

Islam is a monotheistic religion based upon the Qur'an, which adherents believe was sent by God through Muhammad. Followers of Islam, known as Muslims, believe Muhammad to have been God's final prophet. As a result, most of them see the actions and teachings of Muhammad as related in the Sunnah and Hadith to be indispensable tools for interpreting the Qur'an.

Like Judaism and Christianity, Islam is considered to be an Abrahamic religion.There are estimated to be 1.4 billion adherents, making Islam the second-largest religion in the world. Under the leadership of Muhammad and his successors, Islam rapidly spread by religious conversion and military conquest.

Islam, like any religion has its extremists. Extremists from any religion scare me. Peace.
