#1 Democracy...allows the public to control the government
And it means us Learned Elders wouldn't control the government and we can't have that. You see, the Koran is the basis of government, and the Koran is what we say it is!

#3 What the hell is a "Learned Elder of Islam"?

An old guy who went to the third grade?

#4 Well put spot. The learned venerable Elder fits a bunch of old words in a different language with the world he sees around him. Is that man-made law? Hell no. End of discussion. Seems the Elder has distilled and refined the K.I.S.S. rule to complete and absolute idiocy. Another great scientific accomplishment of islamic culture?
