Do you think it's feasible to tell Muslims that their religion be kept out of public life? Who do you think would accept that? They don't view their religion as something that should be kept out of the public square. It's not a negative to them. It's a misguided idea to begin with. Total atheism is the way to go, like MSB
You're thinking like an atheist. There is an Islamic justification for the division between spiritual and temporal authority. Secularism exists to protect Islam from corruption because politicians always misuse it for their own creaturely desires. We see this time and time again. Uthman ibn Affan and Ali bin Abi Talib were murdered because the Sahaba could not agree on religion. The Prophet's grandsons Hassan and Hussein were killed because of religious disagreements with the Khalifa. If the Sahaba and the prophet's own family could not be safe from power hungry politicians, it stands to reason that the modern generation can do no better. If anything, their conduct can only be expected to be worse.
The Saudi royals claim that Allah supports their prohibition on female motorists and the Taliban maintain that Allah is against girls' education. I'm not as learned as these devout gentlemen, but I must have missed the Quranic verse on why xalimos are lousy drivers and can't be trusted to read. Maybe it's in Surah Mercedes. Politicians will always trample on the rights of Muslims. The history of Islam is the history of sectarian war between Muslim dynasties and empires. Have you been watching Yemen lately? The only way to safeguard Islam is to take it out of the hands of the political sphere altogether.
MSB was a gaal? I know he executed 10 wadaads who opposed his inheritance law ( and God bless him for cleansing Somalia of Saudi worshipers), but why do you say the poor guy was an atheist? Wishful thinking dare I say?
