Democratic rule will free Muslim nations

The attack by a white rightwing terrorist at the two mosques in Christchurch should rightfully be condemned but condemnation is not enough.

If you ask him “why?”, he will tell you because Muslim terrorists are killing whites in the capitals of Europe and that Muslims are mass-migrating to Europe and will eventually take over and implement sharia law there.

If you ask ISIS “why?”, they will tell you because the US and the Europeans have been invading the Middle East, killing Muslims and supporting the apartheid state of Israel.

If you ask the Americans and Europeans why they invade the Middle East, they will tell you if they don’t, Russia and China will take over.

If you ask God why there is so much suffering in the Muslim world (invasions, bombings, misogyny, poverty, mass migration, division, revolutions, despotism, corruption, etc), He will answer: “God will not change the condition of a people unless they change their mentalities.”

What is the mentality that God is talking about?

It is the belief that free will, democracy and capitalism are haraam (unlawful).

But the Quran has many verses requiring the implementation of both democracy and ungeared capitalism.

So how do we change the conditions of Muslims?

1 We interpret the Quran subject to context.

2 We scrap 1,400 years of imported pagan beliefs, customs and laws.

3 We implement free market reforms.

4 We implement democracy and majority rule.

5 We give Muslims their human rights and God-given freedoms.

Majority rule and democracy will lead to the unification of the Muslim world into larger blocks of nations which are then able to defend themselves against foreign invasions.

Democracy and capitalism will also reduce poverty and the need to mass migrate to the west.

Reformation and democratisation of the United Nations and scrapping the veto will lead to the quick resolution of both the Palestinian and Syrian conflicts.

Reformation is, therefore, required on both sides – Islam and the United Nations.
