What would help then, A Shariah based government? Don't be misled by the international neglect of our country. It wasn't even helped in comparison to a tiny country in the world.

Give us concrete steps as to how a non-secular based solution would help us out of this predicament.

The solution will come from within the people who live there, not those of us who have lived for decade(s) in a different reality and had little or no interaction with the stadium. Those of us who live in a different reality aren't even spectators of the stadium; they are watching TV. The people who live there have come up with their own solutions, grassroot solutions that have succeeded in solving most problems and challenges. Outside interferences and forced foreign solutions are bound to fail miserably. After what the people there have gone through years of killing, rape, famine, failed secular leaders and solutions, after witnessing the success of grassroot solutions-- the people have no stomach for theory-based secular solutions by individuals, organizations, associations, political parties, etc who live in a different alien reality, and whose experience and expertise are based on watching TV.
