WHAT TYPE OFPOLITY ISLAM WANT’S TO ESTABLISH? THE IDEALIZED ISLAMIC STATE NEITHER CONFORMS TO THE WESTERN STANDARDS OF L LIBERALISM WHERE IN THERE IS NO PLACE FOR A SET OF ABSOUTE VALUES TO COMTITUTE THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE OPERATION OF POPULAR WILL NOR TO WESTERN OR EASTERN TOTALITARIANISM WHERE IN THE INTEGGITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL IS COMPROMISED AT THE ALTER OF COLLECTIVE AUTHORITY.
THE PHILOSOPHIC FOUNDATIONS OF THE ISLAMIC STATE ARE GOD’S SOVERENGITY, MAN’S PAPULAR VICIREGENCY, INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBILITYTHE THE ONENESS OF THE UMMAH (THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY) GOD’S SOVERIGNTY NOT ONLY MEANS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF HIS AUTHORITY BUT ALSO LAYS DOWN THE PRINCIPLE THAT DIVINE LAW IS SUPREME AND THAT THE VALUES, PRINCIPLES AND PRIORITIES ARE TO BE BASED ON DIVINE REVELATION.
