Thoughts?
Example?
You’re asking for an example of Islamic dictatorship? Khomeini is the first that comes to mind.
Quote:The Quran has this explicit order from God:
Quote:https://quran.com/2/256
Sura 2, The Quran:
Sahih International
(256) There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
First thought that pops into my mind: how to be a dictator, when your God officially tells you that dictatorship and compulsion are forbidden; dictated in Sura 2 Verse 256 ??
Doesn’t seem to matter much to certain Islamic groups or leaders, it’s almost like their beliefs are cherry picked to suit their needs or something.
