O Muslims, Do Not Follow Jews and Christians Into the Lizard Hole!
From Al-Muhaajiroun
If we consider the nature and reality of voting in the current elections and then look at what Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an we will realise that ... if you vote for the kuffar and support their parties ... you will be granting all the deeds that they subsequently do to yourself under the Islamic principle of Wilaayah i.e. representation. Hence Muslims must not vote for anyone in the present election, even if they say that they are going to get you some schools or other benefits for the Muslim community. Moreover the fact that some people go to Parliament or local councils and legislate and others vote for them to go there and do so, is clear-cut Shirk in Islam ....

How can a Muslim say that there is no legislator except Allah ... and then vote for someone else to legislate Kufr law and order? Rather every Muslim’s Tawheed dictates that he keeps Allah’s sanctity exclusive i.e. to obey, worship and follow him exclusively. ....

For those who try to bring spurious arguments to get people to vote today, we must remind them that none of the four Imams (Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik, Imam Shaafi or Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal (ra)) said that we can vote for the Kuffar in this regard. ....

Even if the rule (that Parliament legislates) agrees with the Islamic rule, for example if tomorrow Tony Blair says that we should cut the hand of the thief – because it was not made in submission to Allah it is still considered to be a kufr law. This is in line with the established principle in Islam that ‘whatever agrees with Islam is kufr and whatever disagrees with Islam is kufr’. How can any Muslim go to the Parliament and sit with the Tawagheet (MP’s and Lords) or ask or vote for another person to do so? ...

O Muslims, We have begun to follow behind the Jews and Christians into the ‘Lizard hole’, as foretold by the Messenger Muhammad (saw). ...
