Khaled Abouu El Fadi: Islam and Democracy(In your opinion should organized religion be the steward of justice

Question

In your opinion should organized religion be the steward of justice for all

Answer 1

Yeah and?
Ignorant mullas are as bad as bible thumpers, funny you make a comparison between democracy and Islam.I'll give you the lowdown.
Prophet muhammad established one of the earlists ever truly peaceful, tolerant and pluralistic nation 1400 years ago, way back before the concept of democracy is ever coined.What makes you think there is no justice under Islam? There's nothing wrong with secualrism, as long as it isn't unjust toward open practice of religious worship.

Like i'm not even religious for god's sake, but we all must defend other's right in alterity.

Answer 2

Perhaps ONE of the stewards of justice. Justice cannot exist without a grounding in morality. Morality does not arise from reason, i.e. you can't get an ought from an is. Organized religion (like other interest groups) should influence legislation when appropriate, e.g. death penalty.

The ADMINISTRATION of justice is a completely different matter - I think this is probably what you are talking about. In states that have a single religion, justice may be considered more properly administered by organized religion - I dissent from such a view, and believe justice is more properly administered by secular jurists. However, in a single-religion society, the outcome may likely be the same whether a case is judged by a secular or religious person.

By the way, what is "true Christianity" is completely subjective, and "true democracy" is non-existent.

Answer 3

faith & justice r 2 countless issues. the two r the consistent venture of controversy, yet no they must no longer be molted 2gether 2 type a unifying finished. faith can only function a handbook 2 how 2 stay a good, if no longer pleasing existence. while, justice serves as a template on which 2 stay a existence it extremely is only 2 others & would not infer on others rights 2 their existence. :)

Answer 4

God has his law,and the world has it's own.

Whether people want to abide by his law is up to them.The world is too corrupt to start killing people because they believe differently.That's part of what the government is trying to stop around the rest of the world.

If one wants to be a believer,so be it,and should not have to be persecuted for it.

If one wants to be a non believer so be it.

Answer 5

No. Religion is nutty. Justice should be tempered by reason. Not nuttiness.

Answer 6

organized religion is not a source of any kind of justice. all it knows is how to condemn and destroy.

Answer 7

Definitely not. However, true Christianity and true democracy works well together.
