Religion has no place in politics because politics deal with reality and religion does not. Religion Religion create realities separate from our shared realities that we have access to though reason and empirical evidence, it has no place in law. Individuals are also the biggest minority, protect the individual and you protect what this individual believes but groups do not need special privileges which often are used to discriminate against individuals or other groups.

I take it your opinion is expressed as a result of a deep study and understanding of Sharia and Fiqh.

Religion have no place in law ! any country's constitution must NEVER be based on any religion !! law and religion are two completely different entities ! no country in the world should be allowed to follow a religion based constitution and that includes all islamic countries !! any country practicing religion based constitution should be declared lawless according to international standards !! no country in the world must be allowed to practise a law based on relgion !!!

@Atlantaminuteman And the West isnt doing the same thing? Imperialistically trying to dominate the East and destroy their systems?

@OooooohbabyColinb108 Good for you ! Islam is not just a religion . It is a system . That system can not work with America or any other Western Nation. We must stop this from happening in America and the world ! World domination is the goal. Slow world domination ! Multiculturalism is the avenue used .

britain in no more a secular country , its a islamic kingdom. mona is doing brain washing in uk. its called lower jihad to conufuse british.

Im sure most muslims probably would do just that. However, the catch is that the West interferes to insure corrupt puppet politics is played out in the muslim world. Western politicians,(especially Mr Cameron and Mr Obama) interfering in the political affairs of Muslims globally by supporting kings and despots , who in turn kill anyone who espouses political opposition.

, has lead to an absence of sharia in the muslim world is rightful place. Go do something about your governments.....plz :-)
