Islamic cleric misunderstands Islam, issues fatwa against democracy

It gets old, but I will say it again: Islam and democracy have nothing in common.  Now I can wait for the cries of Islamophobia, anti-Muslim hate-mongering, bigotry, racism and the usual littany of name-calling.

Wait for it...

Now we have another in a long line of Islamic clerics, saying exactly the same thing yet where is the name-calling, the insults, the claims of Islamophobia against Shaikh Abdul Malek Ramdani?  There will not be any, as it is OK for the good sheikh to say whatever he wants, in the name of multiculturism and tolerance for other religions.  Besides, the left and their lackeys cannot stand to see America as anything but the bad guy, so words such as those from the sheikh are ignored, or treated as a lie.  He couldn't possibly have said that, so we won't recognize that he did.

Poppycock.  It is nothing but moral relativism and one way for the left and Islamic apologists to blame the West for not understanding how Muslims act within their own countries.

Pathetic and dangerous.

Cleric issues 48-page fatwa against democracy

Muslims told to ignore calls for change because 'democracy goes against Islam'

Algiers: The spiritual leader of Algeria's influential Salafist movement has issued a 48-page fatwa, or religious decree, urging Muslims to ignore calls for change because he says that democracy goes against Islam.

The fatwa by Shaikh Abdul Malek Ramdani, who lives in Saudi Arabia, comes at an opportune time for President Abdul Aziz Bouteflika as Algerians watching protests in other Arab states have begun pushing their own political and economic demands.

"As long as the commander of the nation is a Muslim, you must obey and listen to him. Those who are against him are just seeking to replace him, and this is not licit," Ramdani wrote in the fatwa obtained by Reuters.

"During unrest, men and women are mixed, and this is illicit in our religion," said Ramdani, who claims several hundred thousand followers in Algiers.

(.)...in his ‘fatwa on unrest'....(he said)"Unrest is a tool created by democratic systems which are against Islam."

He said it.
