The Islamic State a’la the Rightfully Guided Caliphates — No Thanks.

This is an old bugbear really, but one that’s been stewing for a while, especially since there are more than the odd nutjob or two who actually believes that an Islamic State modelled on the rule of the early Caliphs would be a good thing for Malaysia. For example, check this MalayWomen post. Got fatwa some more.
The fatwa essentially says that the establishment of an Islamic State is an obligation to all Muslims. The more rabid voices out there also says that we should follow the path set out by the four Rightfully Guided Caliphs, Abu Bakar, Umar, Uthman and Ali. I would like, if I may, register my objection here.
Why?, some might ask.
Well, the second Caliph, Umar, was killed during praying by a Persian ex-slave who pretended to be a Muslim in order to get close to the Caliph. He plunged a knife into Umar’s belly and dragged it to Umar’s neck. He then stabbed Umar in the back, for good measure.
The third Caliph, Uthman, was murdered while reading the Qur’an in his house. By other Muslims.
The fourth Caliph, Ali, had a poisoned knife plunged into him while he was praying. He suffered for two days before he dieded. Killed by a fellow Muslim too, mind.
So … I dunno. Maybe not such a good idea lah. Scary stuff.
Also, by the way, if Malaysia were to follow that path … no more Kings and Sultans, eh? Don’t want to be like the Umaiyyad dynasty, or the Abbassiyah, eh?
Abbassiyah … Baghdad. 1001 nights. Harem. Free secks with concubines … But I digress.

This is how stupid some people have become. We have the women who run the Malaywomen blog proudly quoting a ‘fatwa’ from an anonymous Islamweb.net site.
Rose tinted view of the so called glory days of the ‘islamic’ caliphs. Well perhaps the Malaywomen blog secretly aspires to be a member of the newly constituted harem….
Do you think that with the new Caliphate government proposed, there will still be ‘Datukships’ and if so, does it come with a gold card for unlimited access to the Harem? That in itself is worth it!

Quote: “… no more Kings and Sultans, eh?”
Bro, they gonna call it “Negara Islam Berpelembagaan”.
Or, they probably beheaded the Kings and installed their Mursyidul Am as Maksum Leader like Iran. GOD do live on earth!
