Ok my last Post before i end my Arguments, since we arent going nowhere. We all have obviusly our own views, but lets respect eachother.
My opinion is that living in a secular environment gives muslims the choice of living as a mukmin on their own accord and choice, which by the way, is a great gift to humans by Allah.
Isn't this the real quest (jihad) and challenge for all muslims?
Ulamas & Sheikhs, when given political mandate, tend to blind us with their dogma. So-called religious laws implemented are one-sided and without recourse or challenge. Religious scriptures are distorted or literally interpreted for total political control.
Transparency would be non-existent, nepotism would be rife, human rights would be worse that what it already is; in other words, a recipe for disaster for all Somalis.
Ulamas & Sheikhs have a place in society, but not to govern in political matters.
Our country needs democratically elected, passionate and intelligent law makers, of laws that apply equally to all.
Muslims don't need a Sharia court that totaly disregards basic human rights, children's rights, women's rights, disabled persons rights. Name just one muslim country in the world where individual rights have not been severely violated by barbaric and literal interpretation and application of the "muslim" law?
Let Allah be the judge for spiritual transgressions, not the Shariah court. Let the secular courts judge us on secular and worldly issues.Secularism for me, secularism for my children, secularism for the future of all Somalis.
I think your problem is you are lacking knowledge of Islam in general.
