I agree with you the decision to be an Islamic state governed by Sharia law should be subject to an electoral reaffirmation regularly.

THANK YOU!! But it's clear that unless these parties PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND PRONOUNCE FEALTY TO THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS, they will act to undermine and eventually destroy the democratic mechanisms by which the people have the means to declare what form of government they prefer.

This is exactly what Hitler did after he was elected.

Elections were never intended to be the means by which the people would be denied a future voice in who governs them.

Which is why, no matter how much people complain, I will NEVER surrender, nor apologize for, my belief that democratic values, manifested in a free and fair electoral process, and safeguarded by a free and fair press, is the only means of legitimate government.
