Is democracy a perfect system of governance, particularly for Muslim countries?
Democracy is not a perfect system, but than none is. However, democracy is the system that comes closest to what might be called a perfect system. At least in today’s world, the only practical and widely accepted method of governing is democracy.And what is so special about Muslim counteries? The people living in those countries are any different than the human beings living in the non-Muslim countries? Do they not eat, drink, and sleep, and marry and carry out al other chores?
Is it divine and ordained by God himself? If so, prove it in the light of Islamic teachings.
Is dictatorship divine and ordained by God himself in Quran? Can you give me one reference from Quran or Hadith pointing to the fact that dictatorship is the only acceptable form of government?
More importantly, did the Muslims rule by this system? Last I checked we have a far superior ''caliphate'' system.
Caliphate was never a superior system; it is just another form of feudal rule and it was practical and acceptable in its time because Muslims or non-Muslims, all were governed through the autocratic rulers.
If not, then shut your trap. It's a western democracy designed by the British for their "slave subjects" in much of the world and largely caters their "interests", it doesn't serve the locals.
There is no such thing is western or eastern democracy; Democracy is just democracy. This is pure BS that democracy was designed by the British to control their colonies; You seems to lack severely in the knowledge of history. It indeed serves the local and ordinary people and all the social and related development and advancement of the European countries is not but the result of democracy in those countries. Quite contrary to what you see in the countries like Burma, Pakistan, North Korea and several other dictatorship-stricken African nations.
Here's one fact to burst your whole bubble of hatred for the military: When Ayub Khan became President literacy rate was at 15%, so how any sane person say or justify a democratic system when 85% of the people can't even define the system that governs them??
If the democratic system could be initiated in India with similar or perhaps even lower overall literacy rate, what stops it happening in Pakistan? MA Jinnah and his colleagues were idiots who’s entire struggle was through democratic process and within the constitutional boundaries of Government of India Act 1919 and 1935?
By any chance are you aware that Government of India Act, 1935 served as the first constitution for Pakistan (until the 1956 constitution) and was endorsed by no one else but MA Jinnah himself? What made him do so? He could have easily declared himself as the new ‘Caliph’ and imposed his own version of LFO instead of the GOI Act, 1935, but he never did that, care to think why? Was he any less aware about that literacy rate of the newly born Pakistan than you are?
What is really going on here? Is it that you are really not aware of all these historical hard facts or you think others are retards and uneducated and will submit themselves to your will?
That 15% were the rich elite lords and nawabs who worked for and under the British Raj and they later transferred powers to run their interests.
Those 15% could easily be put on leash if democratic system was allowed to work in Pakistan. You may want to learn from the Indian democracy where people like Sardar Wallabh Bhai Patel effectively controlled the feudals and passed on the power to the common people.
Seriously you and Marshall 're so full of sh!t and hatred and venom. open your eyes and look at the broad picture.
Please open up your eyes and see carefully around what is happening in the world.
I know for a fact he could not speak Pashto...one of my uncle was PA officers..he told me once he try to talk pashto with him but Ayub khan could not understand.
