It makes absolutely no statement on thought control; the opposite of what Islam does. As a result, all people of all religions or none are able to benefit from the rule of government and are prevented from stopping others from doing so. So actually it opposes tyranny in its core.
Quote:The idea of secularism itself, is denying me my right to rule with religion, even if the majority was by my side.That's the thing, you have no such right because not everyone has the same religious belief as you. Governments' main concern is administrative governance of a nation not ideological control. Your misunderstanding, actually perversion would be a better term, of the purpose of government is your issue.
Quote:That's why -for the existence of Israel-, I blame each and every secular person -if they accepted it as a legitimate state-; and accuse them of hypocrisy and bigotry if they didn't oppose Israel.And that's why your blaming of secularists is not only unfounded but profoundly bigotted and unethical in both its premises and consequences. Why don't you try blaming the people actually responsible and stop using Israel as a premise to attack people of a differing ideology to you? All you're doing is being an arse.
