The Prophet defeated the enemies of Islam even when he and his followers were small in number.

Laws are to be enforced justly but firmly, with an iron hand. This is the case anywhere, even in a family.

Islam is fixed, stable, ordered and disciplined, and so are Muslims.

So we want an Islamic state where Islamic law is not just in the books but enforced, and enforced with determination. There is no space and no room for democratic consultation. The Shariah is set and fixed, so why do we need to discuss it anymore? Just implement it!

Our Prophet was a radical too- he fought against the injustices of his community and challenged the feudal order of his society, so they called him a radical. So what? We should be proud of that!

But the weakness comes from these Westernised co-opted Muslim leaders who just want to look good in the eyes of the West and Western media.
