Islamic Democracy.

So Tunisia is heading towards an Islamic democracy. It’s funny how we can accept the welding together of two conflicting concepts by just writing them next to each other in a sentence. Lets create a totalitarian meat pie for instance. Islam or any religion for that matter is in essence a dictatorship, what God says goes. God says wear a kebab and it’s ‘end of, speak to the paw sister.’ That’s why I’ve always fancied being God. Democracy on the other hand includes endless debates about where we should build a bypass round the third London airport. Yes it’s longwinded but it’s answerable to the people, and should your vengeful ex wife renege on your agreement vis the driver of a ten year old speeding fine you’ll be out of office by the end of the week. Conversely a religion is answerable to a deity who might for instance demand you wear a meat sandwich. So who is an Islamic democracy answerable to? Obviously those with the best wifi connection to religious conviction. So an Islamic democracy will have Islamic parties and possibly secular ones. Now once an Islamic party comes to power and, due to the vagaries of the democratic process, gets voted out in favour of a secular one what should they do? I mean with God on their side they’re hardly likely to devolve his almighty power to a bunch of agno upstarts who will just make things up as they go along. No God will dictate, or at least heavily suggest, that for the good of the country, the human race, the world and his kingdom they must resist this evil change, and, as the government has one army more than the people, they’ll win, if not in the game, on penalties because a modern well equipped fighting force is equal to Schmeichel in goal compared with an empty net at the other end. No, once they’re in they’ll stay in like Gaddafi. The only choice will be Islam or hyper Islam and it’s a good bet the latter will win. So here’s a message from God. ‘Observe the lilies of the field, they neither reap nor form Islamic democracies.
