how do proponents of gradualism reply to hizb ut tahrirs well known point taht the prophet never took teh position of king over makka. they make this point in refutation of democratic participation. Id like to know how this poins dealt with. Those two articles were really good jazak allahu khair. i was fascinated to read the book of the founder of an nahda, really shows his understanding of the need of islamic governance. i hope the western media dont discover this book lol or an nahda will be piblic enemy #1 in the western media
