    Why a dictatorship and a democratic government behave alike about journalists and TV anchors? We are missing Dr Shahid Masood, Hamid Mir and Ksahif Abbasi – the missing persons! Their respective channels management should take stand on his issue.

    In fact both Democracy and dictatorship are the two sides of the same coin because the fundamental aspects of both these are same. This is that in both these system the reference point and the source of extracting a law is human mind. The only difference is that in one system many people sit and decide through majority and in dictatorship one person with the help of his advisors sit and decide a matter.

    According to Islam both these systems are invalid because in Islam nether majority nor a single person is allowed to legislate any law he wants rather in Islam the ruling system is khilafah whose duty is to implement the rule of Allah (swt) and in the permissible sphere there can be a voting or there can be asked from those who are experts in that particular field. Allah (swt) said in Quran “Hukm (ruling) only belongs to Allah” and one other ayah Allah (swt) said “Obey Allah Obey Messenger and Uleul Amr, If you have any dispute amongst you then refer it to Allah and his massager, if you believe in Allah (swt) and the Day of Judgment”. Those who use the term Islamic democracy are in fact unaware of both these systems. There can’t be Islamic democracy because these two terms are completely contradicting each other. So I believe democracy does not exist any where in the world the thing which exist is Elitocracy and the dictatorship of the capitalists.

    Regards
