in government. That is why we always say democracy is an un-Islamic system.
The Jews have designed the philosophy of democracy to destabilize other societies, particularly Muslim Ummah.
The second lesson that democracy teaches is to establish political parties or to become a member of already existing parties. Democracy cannot exist in an environment sans parties....Islam condemns dividing Muslim Ummah into parties and groups. Any division, whether it is along sectarian lines or political, is unlawful in Islam. Islam urges us to foster an environment of unity and brotherhood and warns those who create divisions in society of punishment in the hereafter....Today, elections have caused bickering in each and every house. The society continues to divide rapidly along ethnic, sectarian, and linguistic lines. The disbelievers are happy that hostility is generated among Muslims. Obviously, this was the objective for which they created the goddess of democracy.
The third gift of democracy is moral vices. The candidate uses all unfair means and tactics to gain a victory in the elections. He levels true or false accusations, he indulges in backbiting, files false lawsuits against his opponents, to name a few of his tactics.... In the words of the famous Urdu poet Iqbal, the exterior of democracy is very bright but its interior is darker than Genghis Khan....
Our politicians are ready to sacrifice their lives for this wretched democracy, but they don't care two hoots for Islam or Jihad. No wonder, humiliation is staring Muslims in the face today. ...
The plain, unvarnished truth is that this democracy is a conspiracy to undermine our society, to cause Muslims to fight each other. Now they want women to be a part of this wrangling. They want more women's rights organizations in society that will spread hatred against men. These organizations always dance to the tune of the West. In short, they want the women who spend their lives at home to ruin their lives like the Western women...
When it has become clear that democracy is un-Islamic, then it is un-Islamic, too, to participate in it. Therefore vote is not a holy trust, nor is it a nation's right. All those who cast votes, or canvass, or help in the electoral process in any way, violate the way of the Prophet....
Therefore, we should rid ourselves of democracy and strive for the Islamic system. Those who believe in democracy cannot wage Jihad and those who wage Jihad should give democracy a wide berth.
