The Problems of Democracy

In the 21st century, After fighting two brutal world wars, All the peace scholars have realized that the only way of avoiding war is to bring the countries to real democracies, the more democracies we have, the lesser conflict we have in the world, It seems that this is been accepted as the global governance system.

The problem with democracy is we don't live in the flat sort of world, there exists real differences in terms of culture, religion and way of living, The global version of democracy preached by the USA is in direct conflict with our religion and culture, that is Islamic state of Pakistan.

In democracy, the sovereignty belongs to the people of the state but in Islamic state, the sovereignty belongs to the Creator, Almighty Allah, Who is the supreme authority, Many people disagree to this, I believe there isn't democracy in Islam, We are bound to do we are asked for, there isn't any sort of Public opinion or freedom of expression against the commands of the God.

Shari-ah  is the Divine system which will be protected by the God Himself and We cannot live the life by our own, Islam is religion with restriction which require self-control against Nafs and evil deeds.

There comes another argument, 'What is the limit of Human will power?'. Rational and scientific society might believe that its us, who change everything around us but the theologians would argue that we should not think about future, it is also something negative in terms of trusting the God.

Masses are non-religious, the expression of the masses will spoil the religion as institution and ultimately harm the society in terms of morality and ethics, the individual character will fall and the materialism will rise.
