ent as we did to the Islamic Ottoman Empire.
We can find nothing in the tenants of the Christian or Jewish books that comes even close to Islam’s way of government. The Judeo-Christian faith has nothing to do with government aside from a Messianic hope, and only when “He” comes with the heavens folding as a scroll, that this theocratic kingdom can take place.
This hasn’t happened yet.
Also, the Bible clearly stated to “obey the laws of the land” making it clear that the biblical God is not about enforcing a theocratic government on earth by the sword of any mortal being, be it vicar or king. The Old Testament either with it’s Temple system, judges, kings, had no place in it that called for expanding Israel.
This is why we can never compare the reforms in the Judeo-Christian culture with reforms in Islam.
Besides this discussion, may I add that I always hear this term “Islamic democracy”. To me it’s absurd, it’s like saying “Capitalistic Communism”. Is there such a thing? So why try to create an oxymoron?
Islam is a moral code, Khilafa, civil law, and a global government. Can anyone honestly say that this is not Islam?
