The removal of ‪Mursi‬ represents a great failure for Democracy‬

The Egyptian ‘Shurooq’ newspaper reported in its daily edition on the 4th of July news that the German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said: ‘The removal of the President Muhammad Mursi by the Egyptian army yesterday on Wednesday represents a great failure for Democracy’.

Westerwelle went on to say to the press in the background of his visit to Greece: ‘It is a great failure of Democracy in Egypt’ adding: ‘Egypt returning in the fastest possible time back to the constitutional system is an urgent matter and there is a real danger in regards to the vulnerability of a Democratic transition in Egypt’.

It is clearly apparent that what has happened in Egypt in relation to the Muslim Brotherhood government in recent days is the same as what happened in Algeria in the nineties with Islamic Salvation Front when the army performed a coup upon that which was described as ‘Legitimacy’.

It has exposed vividly the ‘Democratic Lie’ that is supposed or imagined to exist. This brought Mursi as the legitimate president according to what they say and then it brought his removal through a military coup undertaken for a number of reasons or excuses including: ‘Terrorizing and threatening the peace of the people and a continual abuse of the state institutions’.

This has exposed to any one with two eyes that the Democracy is a false god of sweets that the West will eat if it feels hungry. The example of Egypt illustrates that and indeed this is the state of affairs for any system that has lost itself to the deficient desires of people. Has it not become clear to our people in Egypt Al-Kinaanah, the Egypt of Amr Bin Al-Aas that the methodology of change and implementing the Shar’a (Law) of Allah cannot occur through the gates of Democratic elections or by depending upon the western disbeliever, pleasing him and implementing his instructions?

You have seen right before your eyes what has happened to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and you should now realize that there is only one way of establishing the rule of Islaam. This is the path that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم walked and his method must be considered as Shari’ah rules that are binding when undertaking the work seriously in the Ummah, by her and with her to generate the public opinion within her that is based upon a general awareness about the obligation of applying the Shar’a (Law) of her Rabb (Lord) completely in the shade of the Khilafah State. The Muslims must take up the demand for the ‘Sharee’ah’ (Islamic rules) and leave the calls for (Democratic) ‘Legitimacy’. So it is better to die in its way being successful with the pleasure of Allah whilst the other path earns nothing but His سبحانه وتعالى’s scorn and anger.

Do the sincere sons of the Ummah realize that the call that says: ‘The application of the Shar’a of Allah needs gradualism, years and years of gradualism until it can be applied in full!!’

That these words are empty and rejected at a time when they see that the application of Kufr systems and a coup against ‘Legitimacy’ did not require more than a single hour to complete. So what is revolving in your heads and how are you making judgments?

Can you not see?

O sincere sons from the Land of Egypt Al-Kinaanah, the only and single solution that is capable of establishing the Crown of obligations, the Khilafah upon the path of the Prophethood, is to bring down and cast aside every fake, false and fragile form of legitimacy and to adopt the only legitimate call alone. This is the call for the complete implementation of the laws of Allah in the Khilafah State.

وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

“On that day, the believers will rejoice in Allah’s help. He grants victory to whoever He wills. He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.”
