it's not actually bias, if we are to talk about islamic systems of government then we have to start at the heart of Islam (makkah and medina) I don't really care for KSA as a whole but it just happens to be that the two holy cities are in KSA, I tried to keep the post short, but I did highlight monarchies as a plural and presidencies as a plural................ .......I also did point out what is happening in syria. I can also name governments of UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Jordan etc etc...... How are these monarchies "islamically sanctioned". I do accept the the wahabi najdis are bad maybe as bad as some other "muslim" leaders in the ummah, but that is a different topic. We can also discuss Quran 35: 6 and Tafsir Jalalyn's take on this verse, but that is not the topic here. It's easy to side step the issue here and bring up the najdis, as the argumentation i give is strong for Democracy in Islam, and it is hard to refute it for people who think democracy is the opposite of islamic way of government. Did you know Abu Bakr(ra) was nominated as a candidate for caliph before he was ELECTED? YES elected! so how is democracy un islamic?
