It is an interesting time for the Islamic faithful. Today large
portions of Middle Eastern countries are weary of Autocracy and Totalitarianism
rule with Islamic tendencies. As we watch these events unfold, will the secular
world accept the new governments? As the Egyptian voters go to the polls and
elect a new parliament. My hope is the new parliament can vote-in freedom for
all Egyptians.
Muslim Brotherhood Guidance Bureau has been quoted “We want
a civil state, based on Islamic principles a democratic state, with a
parliamentary system, with freedom to form parties, press freedom, and an
independent and fair judiciary.” But, what paradigm does the military fit into this
picture? People in Tahrir square died at the hands of the autocracy system,
supported by the military. If Egyptians want a new chapter of freedoms, they
must create a paradigm to abandon the military’s governmental power structure. As
Egypt parliament rewrites their constitution, there in the military will report
as a council to the Prime Minister and be consider not a closet totalitarianism
structure.
I hope Egypt can align itself with God. Having a civilian based
government with Islamic principles of faith based on categories of human
behavior as the Quran defined as Sunnah. We must remember the practice of worshiping
God is separate from running a government.
