I’ve often said in this space that Islam is not a religion, but a totalitarian political system with a quasi-religious superstructure. In the following essay Michael Copeland cites authoritative sources to support this thesis.
Islam is Government
by Michael Copeland
Islam is government. This sober reality is so important that it deserves to be repeated, with no distractions:
Islam is government.
Culpably and very reprehensibly, Western leaders fail to warn the public of this serious concern, and persist in treating Islam as a matter only of worship. Islam, though, is emphatically NOT restricted to worship. It concerns very public matters — territory, criminal law, punishments, marital law, restrictions on speech, second-class status for non-Muslims, rules of dress, diet and fasting — inflicted on all — and a host of other details. More than that, it contains the built-in command that it be imposed over everyone — by force if needed. The imperative is that it must displace all other systems. Our politicians have given us no inkling of this, and very probably have no inkling themselves.
Islam is a system
“Islam is the perfect system for all mankind”, says the placard. “System” here means system of rules, of laws, namely, government. The system is, in Tariq Ramadan’s favoured phrase, “all-encompassing”, that is to say, totalitarian. Though billed as “a” total system there is no choice available. Islam is THE ONLY system permitted: “If anyone desire” [a system] “other than Islam never will it be accepted of him”, says Koran 3:85, part of Islamic law. Islam’s system is neither inclusive nor tolerant:
“My religion doesn’t tolerate other religion. It doesn’t tolerate”, … “The only one law …anywhere… has to be Islam”,
says the cleric Abu Bakr, in Australia. Membership is compulsory. There is no private conscience in Islam. The Egyptian sheikh Yassir al-Burhani makes this clear in an interview:
“…is it the right of the Muslim to convert to Christianity or another religion?”
“Of course this is not a right.”
For anyone who leaves Islam the penalty is death: leaving is treated as treason against the government. Any vigilante can perform the killing: there is no penalty, “since it is killing someone who deserves to die” (Manual of Islamic Law, Reliance of the Traveller, o8.4).
The revered 20th-century Pakistani scholar Maududi explains:
“Islam is not a ‘religion’ in the sense this term is commonly understood. It is a system encompassing all fields of living. Islam means politics, economics, legislation, science, humanism, health, psychology and sociology. No one can regard any field of his affairs as personal and private. The Islamic State bears a kind of resemblance to the Fascist and Communist states.”
Islam, the system, has a prayer component which makes it also a religion, and the two are inseparably conjoined. In Mohammed’s day the leader ruled through the mosque: there was no distinction between mosque and state. The threat of everlasting divine hellfire is what gave the law its power. Islam has not undergone change since. It continues to meld the two together in one. Scholar Dr. J.S. Idris of Sudan confirms,
“Separation of mosque and state is not an option.”
Islam’s system is a rival system
Islam has no use for man-made legislation: its laws, Sharia, are already established and unchangeable, and have to be enforced.
Dr. Ijaz Mian in Derby, UK, told his mosque listeners:
“… you have to live like a state-within-a-state — until you take over. There will be no House of Commons.”
Islam also has no use for nation states:
“The Muslim nation is one nation, to the exclusion of all others”,
reads the placard in an Oxford Street pro-Sharia march (ThinkAfricaPress at 0.31).
It is through the mosques that Islam administers its government.
Islam’s system is hostile to the West
The Islamic system of government, as applied in mosques, is hostile to Western laws. It is instructed as intrinsically superior to them, being not man-made, but from Allah. The Islamic system has no room for any other system. Democracy, monarchy, republic, communism, all must be made to yield to the Global Caliphate under Islam. Muslims are under a duty to impose Islam’s system, Sharia, on non-Muslims. Hear what spokesmen say:

A mandatory mask law has gone into effect for British shops, but major supermarkets say they are not willing to enforce it, and the police federation says that police cannot possibly do the job. Meanwhile, a woman sprayed mace on a married couple in a San Diego park because they were not wearing masks.
