To my muslim brothers and sisters,How is it possible to form a government patterned on Islam and democracy?

Having been born and raised in Iran,I have experienced the beauty of Islam in every aspect of my personal life.Yet,I could not come to terms with the tyranny of Mullahs in Iran cotrolling every aspect of your life.I decided to come to America because I wanted to practice Islam of my own free will.I am as good a muslim as I was back home.I felt like it was an insult to me to be treated like that.I was told off on the campuse for wearing jeans,I was told off by extrimist for wearing unconventional beard and so on.And what bugged me the most was I knew Islam better than those uneducated extrimists,and thay had tha moxie to put me out.

    Sadegh it really is a nice question. I am not a scholar and I have not did a lot of study in Islam but for sure I know one thing.

    During the early days of Islam, when the Islamic government was newly established, EVERYONE was happy to live in the Muslim land. Everone used to respect each other, even the christan and the jews were treated nicely.

    WHY?????????

    because the government based on Islam is much better and no one, not even non-muslims, would feel oppressed.

    I am sure that everyone will be happy, and everyone would wish to live under this government.

    I doubt that today there is any government that truely runs by the commandments of Allah (god).

    here my words very well first you cant say that the problem with the Islam as a religion its matter of sick minds that use the Islam and hide behind the word ISLAM i believe that every Muslim do what ever he wants because at the end YOU who will stand in front of god and be judged on what YOU did not on what others did or told you to did

    you don't find your self on your country go to other Islamic country which are a lot and also could find a job there and find your self as Muslim don't choose a country that say we have democracy but in fact they don't so what i simply want to say try to think a lot and choose Islamic country it may be Egypt or Dubai or any other which you can be Muslim treated with full respect and have a good job to work

    good luck

    Islam means submission. There are no elected Muslim governments. One thing peculiar to all of them is corruption and duplicity.

    Example: How many Muslim countries really help the Palestinians in a meaningful way?

    How many rich Muslim countries helped their Muslim brothers in Indonesia after the Tsunami?

    How much Muslim money is invested in Western cassinos?

    Why do most Muslims live in misery?

    Assalam Alaikum. convinced, MashAllah you reported a greatest element. each Muslim must be united and characteristic no hatred for another. I belive that if all Muslims unite and are with one yet another, we are able to jointly create peace and a astounding environment. There are issues around the international and persons are hostile to islam, in trouble-free words because Muslims haven't any team spirit. i wish InshAllah all Muslims will comprehend this, and grow to be united. i'm honestly with you.

    If you read the ahadith, you'll see that the early Khalifas were in fact elected. The people of the place came together and decided who should rule.

    it would be really nice if the Muslims and Christians and the atheist, any other religion could co-exist with throwing rocks at each other. We could all share this wonderful country........Yea I know I was dreaming.
