Claims About Islam and Some Replies to Them no comments
Ridiculous and superficial claims are often made by Modernist (or simply uninformed) Muslims about what Islam is or isn’t… Here is a list of some of the oft-repeated claims we hear, and some short replies to them:
Claim no. 1: Islam is Democracy!
False! Democracy is “dêmos krátos” [more on that here] – the rule of the people – man-made laws. Representatives are elected and they come up with new laws and a lot of these laws change every time a new government is elected. Democracy is the “nice word” for the Capitalist system.
Fact: In Islam the “ruling system” is Shari’a, not “Democracy”!
