I have read this type of description before, it does not change anything about what I said in my previous post however. The Hanfi mathab originated from Imam Abu Hanifa (RA) and his students, but it developed and grew within the context I just described. Hanafis do not talk about government policies they are largely (I do not like using this word because it is not really an Islamic word) apolitrical (non political). This is because the Osmanli khilafat was hanafi and it ruled for 800 years, hanafis took the surrounding society as a given not something that needed changing. This is still part of the Hanafi way even when the surrounding society is completely different. Hanafis are very secular. russia and andalus both had islamic states ,they fell because their efforts were diverted from holding/propogating islam to getting involved in politics
