Political Islam
The aspects of Islam dealing with Islamic activism, Islamic governance, law and economy. Political Islam is the tool to realize Islamic self-determination. Islamic self-determination is unlike Hindu self-determination or Jewish self-determination or Buddhist self-determination or for that matter any ideologist self-determination. It is because Islam is unique and structures the best form of tolerance and inclusivity. Political Islam achieves this by organizing and unifying Quranic Muslims and rallying all non-Muslims under Islamic jurisdiction to the cause of rational freedom and divine humanity.
The difference between Islamic rule and fascist rule is fascism is xenophobic, racist and demands from the few accepted minorities absolute submission to fascist culture if tolerated. Islamic rule is not xenophobic or racist but accommodating to all cultures with the best balance of multiculturalism. Nationalism is imbued with racism and it's always the majoritianism drive by their racial and ethnic self-described identity that fuels their atrocities and hatred. The mind set that "my country is the best no matter what" or "for my country irrespective of the consequences ".. This selfish apathetic mindset is what makes nationalism dangerous and have created colonialism and continue to create atrocities across the world. The basis on which nationalism thrives is propaganda and lies. Islam stands against nationalism. Islam thus can be said as father of globalization. The best thing globalization has done is boost productivity because globalization is based on getting the best talents and skill sets from humanity unlike racism and nationalism which have the audacity and arrogance to think that our race and nation have the best talent and skill. Islam is also a religion which values people's knowledge over their backgrounds and hence Islam has put primary emphasis on meritocracy. Quran 39:9 "Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?"... Islamic effective taxation system prevents racist and xenophobic thought because you see talent and skills will boost businesses and generate increased revenue and hence increased Islamic tax worthy to be distributed to the jobless or low-income people. You will see even in Islamic golden age non-Muslim and foreign people thrived in business and knowledge. Islam can be called as father of globalization. However modern globalization unlike Islam lacks welfare model.
Only a broken system is afraid of race and foreigners. Islamic system is perfect. Here's how. Islamic rule is a system based on God's book and His Prophet's Sunna. Hence Islamic rule is not subservient to the will of the majority or the masses. Islamic rule is established by theocratic meritocracy and not by the ignorant democracy hence under Islamic rule one needs not fear xenophobia or racism or aristocracy or tribalism. The Muslim majority if overtaken by the minority by their accelerated reproduction still Islamic system won't be threatened. Under Islamic system democracy is secondary and doesn't have any power to override the system itself. Rebellion against the system itself is crushed Quran 5:33 under Islamic rule.
So Islamic self-determination is basically pursuit of Muslim people Islamic rule in their countries which is majority Muslim and historically Islamic which faced eradication of Islam through colonial barbarism and oppression. Today after being colonized Muslims talk of mutual tolerance by abandoning Islamic rule with western colonial 'state and church separation' rule and developing it by the copying of western socio-political developments. This is because we Muslims are not pursuing Quranic aims and objectives specifically and Islamic generally.
Unfortunately, most Muslims today are cultural Muslim that is to say they are following cultural Islam rather than Islamic culture. When people inherit Islam from their forefathers' style and activities thinking it of as part and parcel of their ancestors' legacy without any relevance or recognition of Divine authority and dominion over their existence then such an adherence is called cultural Islam. Unfortunately, most Muslim people today are of this sort because they follow Islam culturally like a messy cocktail of various values mixed. Whereas Islamic culture is that you follow any value or idea or practice solely by filtering it through Islam with the belief that you are supposed to represent dominion and authority of God in your existence as an Individual and as a society and as a nation. Ancestry or forefathers or any other entity are superseded by Islam. Now this is the Muslim Quran wants in Quran 6:162, Quran 12:40, Quran 9:24 and many other verses.
Islam is thus a political religion as evidenced also from the five pillars of Islam as Sunni brothers have accepted:
- Faith in Allah and disbelief in Tagut... Belief in His authority and laws and disbelief in authority and laws which contradict His laws. Verses and Hadith are numerous
- Prayer such as jumah prayer which is a place for raising Muslim issues and problems of their society and governmence as the Prophet and His ahl bayt did.
- Fasting is a practice to persevere political and socio-economic oppression and subjugation for sake of God.
- Zakat as the foundation of Islamic socio-political welfare and taxation under the supervision of the Islamic state through state appointed zakat collector as mentioned in Quran 9:60
- Hajj is the symbol of accepting God's authority and rejecting the tyrants and persecutors as stated in Quran 9:3
Islam is against western form of democracy which is chaotic: Voters are unqualified, gullible, sentimental, ignorant, political parties are paid by the corporatocracy, electoral doesn't mean majority will, citizens submit their selves to few elite people who are themselves chosen by their inter party politics for making decisions and there has been only one time where direct democracy worked in ancient Greece, and most importantly democracy is baseless of morality and divine guidance... Democracy lacks any purpose except to divide people and win votes.. Quran 6:116

To End
Prophet of Islam (PBUH) implemented Quran in the political level, judicial level and individual level which just shows Quran's multi level authority refuting the secularists that Islam is personal. Islam is divided in two groups today: the group which calls for peace over justice represented by the Abu Hamza Yusuf, Menk and others backed by Saudis and Emiratis while the group which calls for justice over peace represented by Khomeinists backed by Iran and Qatar ... My respect to the later.
Islamic rule is not valid and not established except by three ways:
1. Meritocracy
2. Transfer of power from existing rulers to Islamic rulers
3. Self defense against anti-Islam aggression on Islamic lands Muslim countries are in third category
Muslims think that if they are quiet world will leave them alone. No my dear naive one, the world will assert itself over us more. Cultural, racial, economic, military imperialism won't leave us alone for our resources and our values which challenge theirs by its very existence. So you all who believe in this dream wake up and do your part of resistance in your work, in your social media and every opportunity you get. Islam cannot stay quiet while oppression and exploitation goes on. The only time western imperialism will allow you to be equal in, is if you share and promote their vision of the world and human existence and this vision is a world of exploitation and oppression by the elite. So as Muslims take charge of your destiny as an individual and as a nation through political Islam.
Muslim countries think that they are no concern of each other, but these fools will feel and really feeling the effect of being Muslim even though most of these fools are thinking by being secular they will be forgiven. No!!! As long as you claim yourself Muslims and show evidence of it the haters of Islam will NEVER trust you the way you are competing with each other to trust them.. Wait for your turn to get victimized. Unless you prepare yourself as a unit, as a confederation, as a union, to attain divine help against your enemies by Islamizing your miserable existence you can't expect escape.. Examples : Bosnia, Saddam, Gaddafi, Mossadegh, Turkey and others. They tried hard to prove themselves to Islam's enemies but never got accepted and still the gulf and north African Muslims trying hard to prove themselves, but these fools are still slaves to imperialism...
So Muslim Countries must be identified by religion and not race, ethnicity or culture as is the reality today. When someone says I am going to England the thought is of Englishness and not Indian, Arab, Pakistani. Same is the case with Australia or New Zealand or Russia or Middle East. This de-facto and in many cases the de-jure identifications by these have led to/leading to the abuse of religions, politics and finance and created hostility among nations and people.
