This stupid twit doesn't even understand what, at it's root, democracy means. There are basically two ways leaders can be chosen. Democratically, where people elect their leaders. Or through a force of power system, where individuals are able to amass enogh power through violence and intimidation to take control of the state. One is called democracy, one is called fascism. Those are the only two choices that exist.
So, you can have a fascist Islamic government, where leaders essentially play power politics amongst party hacks and people have no say in how they are governed or who governs them. Or you can have a democratic Islamic government, where people select their leades at the ballot box. There is no third choice - assuming that you want "Islamic" as the modifier for your government type.
(SomaliNet) SomaliÂ’s powerful Islamists controlling much of south and central Somalia said they would never accept the democratic system wanted by the interim government based in Baidoa, 250km southwest of Somalia capital Mogadishu.
The deputy leader of executive Council of Islamic Courts (CIC) Abdirahman Mohamud Janaqow told the local media the Islamists will not enter talks with the government on the issues relating to democracy.
Islamic Courts see the democratic rule as irrelevant and unacceptabple in Islam.
“We can not accept the laws of democracy because it can’t be compared with the practice of Islamic religion, we believe that Islam is the only religion to rule on this globe,” Mohamud Janaqow said.
He said democracy is a system set by Christians and Islam must be the only choice for Muslim people.
“I urge the transitional federal government in Baidoa should follow the best way of acting on Islam where they will benefit in both the world and hereafter,” Janaqow said.
The latest statement by Islamic official in Mogadishu might create a new difference between the Islamic Courts and interim government who lately signed a peace deal in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum under the auspices of Arab League.
SomaliÂ’s interim government and its main rival, the Islamic Courts have different ideologies in term of governing the country.
The third round of the talks between Islamists and weak Somalia government are due to resume in Khartoum on October 30.
The key agenda on the meeting will be on politics and power sharing.
