Since Islam insists on the monarchy, and insists that the monarch's job is to enforce good (= Islam) and forbid evil (= unbelief), Islam has rather a lot to do with it.


I didn't know that Islam insists on a monarchy. Are all the Turks considered bad Muslim heretics? What about the Indonesians - more heretics? And the Muslim Americans - a work in progress heading to replacement of our government with a monarch?

I do agree that the combination of supporting forced conversion and a failure to separate church and state has got to invevitably lead to religious war. How can a good powerful Muslim nation not convert a weak, non-Muslim nation if it has the ability to do so?

You are aware that legally, under sharia, the testimony of a woman is worth half that of a man?

Didn't know that, and I think in fact she had a female passenger, so maybe that's why she was acquitted. Two women = 1 man = inconclusive.

Suggest you check your facts - India has more muslim population than Pakistan or Bangladesh. Neither of the 3 are monarchies. The last time they were ruled by a monarch (over a period of centuries) was the British Empire - hardly Islamic.
