@AutumnBreeze it's either human rights system or shariah law, don't go around cherry picking what bits u want from both trying to get the two sides to a comprise, either your secularist or islamist, no moderate crap sxb even tho I respect u like to balance things out but I don't negiotate that all humans are equal before god therefore should be equal before the state and enjoy the same rights as all citizens irrespective of gender, race, religion, idealogy.
Please Put your ideas on the table. Secularism means no religion has influence over the state.
This means atheist-agnostics-christians-jews-muslims-non religious cannot impose their views on other using state mechanism or taking away the right of all to enjoy their beliefs or disbelief without interference from a state body or govt institutions. I am sure secularists can come to a comprise about personal liberties like homosexuality being restricted for now(we will inform homosexuals sorry but at this stage the nation isn't mature enough to respect that personal choice but we will continue to fight for u and vote for us"
we will not negiotate on shariah law n state being separate, that is a damn fundamental against the whole idea of Secularism, so u get those islamists out of the state affairs, and update our constitution to declare puntland is secular state that respects the differences of it's citizens and treats them equally not punish them. God allowed us free will to speak, why is the state taking my ability to speak, preach, do as I please if I am not breaking the law? god said all humans are equal before god, so why am I not equal in the state as disbeliever?
I know what u want to do u want to bring about moderation crap, but u can't moderate secularism it's about humanity have fundamental rights where-as shariah is about enforcing islam as the state meaning people can be persecuted for simply refusing to believe or practise therefore breaking the fundamental human right of freedom of religion.
