Democracy is a religion (DEEN). What about this?

Omeiza

well which guidance
The guidance that allows every sane adult to belong to any nation/religion of choice.

Bobo

Correct me if I'm wrong - but if you classify democracy as a legitimate religion, then shouldn't you include the following -

Republicans
Europeans
Americans
Asians
Nazis
Zionist
Oprah Winfrey
KKK
Rock n' Roll fans
Hiphop fans
Avatar fans
Communist

etc. etc.

Or maybe I didn't really understand what you wrote Omneiza (AGAIN)
Dude isn't there some kind of sense-making classes you could take?

Omeiza

Peace Bobo! I don't understand what you mean by democracy being a legitimate religion. If you could re-phrase.

Bobo

You said democracy can be considered a religion/deen - correct? Not?

Omeiza

Democracy is a way of life/a religion/a deen - legitimacy aside! USA wants the world to adopt it.

SarahY

Government of the TRUTH by the truthful/just people for all people. No one can deny that there is the truth!

No such government, no such place.. that truth is non existent.

Omeiza

Lets start with the truth Sarah. Truth is undeniable cos your denial is confirmation of it - saying it is the truth.

nerspi

i doubt that we are to establish a system here that gives 51% of population control over the rest 49%...

SarahY

Omeiza truth is truth.

Omeiza

Democracy did not come from heaven - people instituted it. We have duty to establish govt of the truth for ourselves.

SarahY

When you get enough people to follow you and a political group that upholds truth.. you can instigate truth and share it with us all

Omeiza

Abraham was a community dedicated to the truth alone - he was not a conformist. Oh my dear Ibrahim!

Bobo

Democracy is a way of life/a religion/a deen - legitimacy aside! USA wants the world to adopt it.

Democracy is not the perfect system. It's better than the alternatives but it's not the perfect one. And as long as ppl think of democracy the way you do nobody will find a better solution.

I'm actually referring to the voting system. It's better than communism and dictatorship. But like Nerspi said - the majority gets what they want. If one side is 51% and the other 49%. That's 49% out of the population who are unhappy with the government.

And the risk of assassination always stands.

I don't have the solution - if i had to choose i would choose democracy as we have it today. But there has to be something better...

Omeiza

Peace Bobo! Democracy is better as long as the goal is to serve interests but not a choice to find & live with the truth

Omeiza

Finding the truth is by research & consultation - no brain is a waste. So it is govt of all in the community & one goal.

Bobo

Peace Bobo! Democracy is better as long as the goal is to serve interests but not a choice to find & live with the truth

Once again you're not making any sense, and it's pissing me off.

What truth r u talking about?!

Am I the only one confused with this guy?!

Omeiza

Bobo! The goal of science is to find the truth so there is no Democracy in it unlike the present politics. Guess u r ok

Now you're talking about science?!?! DUUUUUUDDDDEEE!!!!!!

RA786

Democracy is a way of life/a religion/a deen - legitimacy aside! USA wants the world to adopt it.

HAHA rotfl

The US wants the world to Adopt Democracy?

Listen...Western Democracy is as far off from REAL democracy as Shia is from Islamic Quranic Monotheism.

More like DemonCrazy....not democracy.

If Omezia is trying to say that Democracy is a Religion/Deen....I will concur if we then say that
ANY Ideology/Belief whether it be Spiritual, Philosophical, or Political is Religious.

For instance, If Democracy is considered a Religion (an Organized Belief either by 1 individual or many), Then Communism is a religion, Socialism is a religion, and even Personal Belief/Opinion is a Religion.

How you choose to live your life and govern yourself can be to some degree (your religion).

You may be vegetarian and belief in Native philosophies...therefore can we say that is a religion?

I say *F todays Democracy.

I think Democracy/Communist/capitalist...etc... Values are great if they are compatible 2nd to Quranic Law.
To me Quranic Law Aka True-Shariah is broad enough to give us the goods in democracy,commuism,etc... without actualy being specifically ONLY oe of those.

Omeiza

Peace RA786! I agree with the definition of Religion, your analysis & the conclusion when studied carefully. Thanks.
