Let every human rule with the way they want, in their own communities, to hell with borders, nationalities & the mini-wanna be-God governments who control every bit of action we do.
Everybody should be free to to what they want.
As for me, I'll live in that world with Islam: I don't need to force it on anybody else (Sura 2, verse 256), so It'll be okay.
But secularism -after all- doesn't allow that. An anarchist, is an enemy of the state after It's better than religious extremism, yes, but in concept, it doesn't differ that much: it will be forced on people by the sword after all.
I one thought that anarchy could be a good form of society.
And it can... Provided everyone behaves.
Sadly, the reality is too many do not behave.
So a system of checks and balances, rewards and punishments, needs to be set in place.
The religious system has worked well for small geographic communities, such as countries... But it cannot work for the worldwide community.
Secularism can, though... So I side with that. In our ever more connected society, we need some people who look at long term goals, even while some still squat around in their petty local regimes and fight each other over which of them should have possession of a small patch of land.
