Well i truly didn't, i am a man of simple words sir, didn't understood the complex dual meaning words from you, sorry! For now, i stand by what i was saying, it is the WRONG interpretation that is causing the problem, not the religion it self. Secularism or liberlism is not the solution to our problems, i don't even have to point to ENORMOUS problems these secular states face. So if you can kindly tell is simpler words what you were saying that might make me understand.
You see, nobody is arguing for removal of Islam from all spheres of life. To say this is wrong and disingenuous. The argument is that, for a government and state that works equally for ALL its citizens, religion must not form part of the State. It can remain dominant in the private lives of most of its citizens as they see fit, without any imposition from the State itself. This keeps Islam vibrant and strong for its followers without any concerns. Religion as State policy has been an utter disaster for mankind as we can learn from history and the present.
So true, and, a very basic choice in Islam. Quran do not ask you to be a shia or a sunni. That gets us back to the point where i say that if we start following religion to its true essence, we wont have this problem of forcing ones brand on other. People are open to choose as you say and that creates a uniform system of governance and social justice as you asked for
Okay, as long as you are free to follow your chosen religion as you fit, and grant me the same freedom, then what is the problem? Accept diversity of beliefs and respect all believers the same if you want your own beliefs to be respected. Hence, no religion should be imposed, and it will remain where it belongs - in the personal domain.
