Hizb ut Tahrir's advice to Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal
In case you haven't seen it yet. About a dozen "salaams" are edited for the sake of clarity...
The Messenger of Allah said, "The Deen is advice: We asked to whom O Messenger of Allah? He replied: To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, the leaders of the Muslims and the Muslim masses."

It is quite clear from the election results that the Ummah wants the implementation of Islam and liberation from the American Raj. In the light of the Shari'ah rules, as derived from the Seerah of the Prophet, we understand that the implementation of the Islamic system is not possible through democracy. The bitter experience of the Islamic parties of Turkey and Algeria demonstrates the same point. Legislation in a democratic system requires a 51% majority, a condition which contradicts the Islamic ruling system. Making the acceptance by the majority of the people, or their representatives, a necessary condition for implementing the commandments of Allah and His Messenger is in reality snatching sovereignty from the hands of Allah and passing it on to man. However, Allah has not given man any right to make law.
The divine right to make law resides in the hands of proper holy men, with turbans and automatic weapons. The duty of the unwashed is to obey — or have their heads cut off. "Dialogue"? Gimme a break.
