Indeed the British legacy of the Capitalist system, its judiciary and democracy, all are Kufr
Democracy is kufr because the right to legislate belongs to man instead of the Creator
There is absolutely no doubt that democracy, the British legacy of the Capitalist system and its judiciary is based on kufr while calling towards it and ruling by it is absolutely haram. The basis of democracy is neither election nor consultation rather it is the delegation of sovereignty and the right to legislate to humans. Thus, it is not surprising that in spite of having clear commands in Shari’ah, Riba is still lawful in Pakistan, not covering in public is not a crime and supporting America in killing Muslims is perfectly legitimate. All this were made possible because the 342 gods sitting in the parliament didn’t ordain these acts as “haram”. According to the constitution of Pakistan, in order to implement the shari’ah in the current democratic setup, first of all the commands of Allah (SWT) and His messenger (saaw) are sent to the parliament in the shape of an application for which various terminologies of the like of “Shari’ah Bill” are coined. As a follow up, 342 lawgivers debate and scrutinize as to what benefit or harm these laws of Allah may bring to the people. And in the end they even go to the extent of contempt of voting upon the laws of Allah (SWT). If one is luck enough, this “bill” is “graced” to become the law of the land by the sovereign permission of these gods. Hadood Ordinance Bill went through the same procedure and when its purpose expired it was changed according to their wishes by using the same democratic method. Is this the status of Shari’ah? Were the Islamic laws in the era of the Khulafah ar-Rashideen also hostage to the majority opinion? Definitely not!! Qur’an explicitly condemns those who give their personal opinions in matters in which Allah and His messenger have already judged; let alone to debate over them or to conduct vote for its acceptance or rejection. Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an:
وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلاَ مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمْ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلاَلاً مُبِينًا (الأحزاب: 36)
“It is not fitting for a believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, He is indeed on a clearly wrong path.” [TMQ 31:36
In order to make democracy acceptable in the Muslim lands, the imperialist presented it in the garb of Shura (consultation) and elections so that the Muslims may accept it thinking it to be in accordance with Islam. Whilst the reality is that democracy is not just electing a ruler or having Shura (consultation) rather it is installing man as the legislator instead of Allah (SWT). This is why an elected ruler who even takes shura (consultation) but doesn’t act upon the majority opinion is never considered a democratic ruler. Hence it is proven that the real basis of democracy is lawmaking based on the majority opinion and this very aspect being contradictory to Islam makes democracy kufr. Islam gives us the system of Khilafah wherein the Khaleefah implements Islamic laws without the need of any permission or authorization from the Ahl ash-Shura (Majlis al-Ummah); similarly he himself does not have the right to legislate. In the Khilafah the Khaleefah is also elected by the people and he consults the representatives of the Ummah in order to run the day-to-day affairs of the country however there is absolutely no voting with regards to decision making for the implementation of Shari’ah. As long as we continue to make the majority approval a binding condition for the implementation of Shari’ah, the goal for the implementation of Islam will continue to be a mirage. The need of the hour is that we uproot this hurdle of democracy so that implementation of Islam is made possible.
As for the current capitalist system, which is the legacy of the British Raj, it is absolutely kufr. What could be a stronger evidence than this that today un-Islamic taxes such as the GST and the Income Tax are sucking people’s blood; obscenity and vulgarity are being spread under the guise of ‘freedom of expression’; foreign companies are plundering the resources of Pakistan under the name of privatization of public assets; judicial system under the Government of India Act 1935 is committing gross injustice upon the people and above all, man has enthroned himself in place of the Creator as the lawgiver.
Hizb ut-Tahrir has been struggling for the last 55 years against dictatorship as well as democracy and for the establishment of the Khilafah. We demand from the people of power present in the Ummah to pay heed to the Ummah’s desire to live under Islam and practically take part in establishing the Khilafah by providing support and Nusrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir. We also demand that the Ullema and the Islamic parties should openly declare democracy as being kufr without any fear of blame so that the confusion present in the Ummah regarding this very issue may be redressed.

Democracy Debates
Democracy Haram, Democracy Shirk
Democracy is the political framework of the Capitalist thought, i.e. the ruling system that the Capitalist states and their like implement.Democracy, for those who embrace it, means that people rule themselves by themselves with the systems that they choose. Oftentimes, Capitalists refer to their system as "The Democratic System", but such a connotation is incorrect for more than one reason:Democracy was not innovated by the Capitalists but had been preceded by the Greeks. Moreover, they were not the only ones who implemented it; the Marxist-Socialists claimed that they were democrats and they consistently pretended that they implemented democracy.
The most important element of democracy is that it makes the human being and not the Creator as the legislator, which is logical for those who call for the detachment of religion from life because this detachment means to transfer the right to legislate from the Creator to the human being. The Capitalists, in this issue did not discuss whether the Creator has obliged man to follow a certain law and implement it in his life, nor did they even examine this issue at all, rather they appointed man as the legislator without any discussion.
For Muslims to adopt democracy means to disbelieve in all - may Allah _ forbid - the decisive and conclusive Evidences,among which are many Qur'anic verses which oblige them to follow the law of Allah _ and to reject any other law. Moreover, these erses consider any one of them who does not follow or mplement the law of Allah _ as either a Kaafir, a Zalim, or a Fasiq,
"And those who do not rule by whatever Allah has revealed are non-believers (Kaafiroon)." [TMQ AL-Ma'idah: 44]
"And those who do not rule by whatever Allah has revealed are oppressors (zalimoon)." [TMQ AL-Ma'idah: 45]
"And those who do not rule by whatever Allah has revealed are transgressors (fasiqoon)." [TMQ AL-Ma'idah: 47]
Thus, whoever does not rule by whatever Allah _ has revealed, denying Allah _'s right to legislate, as is the case with those who believe in democracy, is a Kaafir according to the explicit words of the Qur'an, because by doing so he is rejecting those decisive verses,and denying a conclusive text makes a person a Kaafir as the Muslim Fuqaha' agreed unanimously.
The Kaafiroon and their agents who rule the Muslim countries, as well as all those who call for democracy who are counted from among the Muslims, whether they are individuals or movements, realise that the basis for democracy is the rejection of the law of Allah _ and putting man in the place of the Creator. For this reason, they do not present democracy from this perspective, but instead claim that democracy means people ruling themselves by themselves, with equality and justice prevailing among the people, and the accountability of the ruler guaranteed.Although democracy explicitly implies the rejection of the laws of Allah and following the law of His _ creation, the advocates of democracy intentionally avoid addressing the issue of rejecting the law of Allah.
The remaining claims of democracy have no actual reality, the claim that people rule themselves by themselves is a major fallacy. In all Capitalist Democratic societies, people do not rule themselves by themselves, because this is a fanciful idea. In reality, people are ruled by a certain group of influential people, such as the prominent Capitalists in the United States and the aristocrats in England, which are two of the most deeply-rooted Capitalist Democratic countries. These influential groups in the Capitalist countries hold the necessary means to bring whoever they want into the government and legislative assemblies (parliaments) so that the laws which are passed and those charged with their implementation would be serving their interests.
Regarding what is claimed about equality, justice,and accountability of the rulers, these are all theoretical, without any compatibility with reality. It is enough for one to look to America, the leader of the democratic world, to find that equality, justice, and accountability are all selective, enjoyed and practiced by those who have a particular colour, religion, race, or financial wealth.The suffering faced by the blacks, Indians, those of Latin and Asian origins, those who are not Protestant, and those who are not from Western European backgrounds is evidence enough that what is claimed of democracy is - despite some exceptional cases - merely theory.Consequently, it is not allowed for a Muslim to accept democracy, because it is Kufr and gives man what is entitled exclusively for the Creator. It is obligatory upon every Muslim to reject it and to challenge all those who propagate it.

Ex-ministers ‘cash for influence’: How Democracy Corrupts....?
Stephen Byers, Patricia Hewitt and Geoff Hoon have all been suspended following reports in the Sunday Times and a Channel 4 Dispatches programme over claims they were prepared to influence policy for cash. Undercover reporters filming the former ministers uncovered the full arrogance of the ministers for hire. At the same time Hundreds of breaches of parliamentary rules by MPs who accepted free overseas trips from foreign governments was uncovered by a BBC investigation.
However, this behaviour is not new. In the mid 1990’s the Conservative Party was dogged by similar allegations of cash for questions.
Again, this is nothing new. After leaving office, many Conservative and Labour ex-ministers received lucrative directorships in companies that are profiting from government contracts.
People always say never mix religion and politics but the western cocktail of money and politics has caused huge problems in personal behaviour, in society’s values and in global peace and security.
The Islamic system takes the money out of politics. The democratic electoral circus that comes around every four or five years positively encourages the growth of money in politics forcing politicians to either raise tawdry amounts of money for re-election or maximise their own wealth before they get booted out.
The Islamic system though not immune from the temptations on offer, seeks to actively detach both finance and the interests of corporations from politics.
Whereas capitalism and democracies are fused at the hip in the west, so creating a class of politicians who are either personally corrupt or beholden to a corporate class, no such influence is permitted in an Islamic political model where strong restrictions surrounding relationships and influence are in force.
The Islamic economic system is also the complete antithesis to the capitalist economy, putting the problems of the ordinary man above big business.
A Khilafah state is the only vehicle to establish this Islamic political system and today provides a unique opportunity to show that there is a better way to manage politics. The Muslim world, when it implemented Islam in its politics, was a giant in global affairs, led in science, prosperity, healthcare and helped Europe emerge from its dark ages.

Sinhalese government initiates to construct Sinhala rule in the East – Sambanthan allege
Tamil National Alliance has alleged that the Mahinda Government is attempting to eliminate all the Tamil representations in the Eastern province and trying to construct Sinhala rule. Alliance Leader R.Sambanthan stated, such attempt will be defeated by Tamil National Alliance was stated by him at a peoples meeting at Jaffna. He said presently Tamil political representation is much dearth in the eastern province, hence the Tamil National Alliance, require more seats in the north, for which there is much necessity.
In the meantime, the peoples meeting which was held on last Wednesday in Jaffna, about 500 to 600 persons were assembled. This clearly establishes, the respect, which the northern people had towards the Tamil National Alliance is getting fading away, is according to Political observers.
This is also the reason for the splits occurred within the Tamil National Alliance party and the failure to establish their accurate policy was stated. Further the TNA is functioning individually by trusting the migrated people, is the present accusations against them.

Sri Lanka’s Minorities tragedy: Some Flash Back
Friday 12 March 2010
US and UK association in torture frequent, widespread and from multiple sources
She revealed that Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush "all watched 24" – the fictional US TV drama that popularised the ticking bomb theory. This theory hypothesised an imminent terrorist attack that could be averted only by gaining information from a suspect in custody, providing justification for torturing the suspect if necessary.
Manningham-Buller’s admission is further embarrassment for the British government and its intelligence services which have been resolute in denying any involvement in torture. On 10th February 2010 Britain’s highest judges ruled against the British government in the case of Binyam Muhammed.
Manningham-Buller is also reported to have said, "It wasn't actually until after I retired that I read that, in fact, he [Khalid Sheikh Mohammed] had been waterboarded 160 times.” The fact that she now denies knowing about mistreatment of detainees was mocked by some who reminded her that all she needed to do was read the daily newspapers during her tenure in office.
Accounts, and not just allegations, of US and British involvement in torture are now frequent, widespread and from multiple sources, including intelligence staff. However, why has it taken Manningham-Buller so many years to speak out about the torture? Moreover, why is the British government and intelligence services threatening and coercing authorities against raising claims of torture?
Furthermore, revelations that key former US administration officials - Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush - supported the use of torture based on a TV drama is a damning indictment against the values of human rights these very same individuals professed to further in invading Afghanistan and Iraq.
Muslim lands have been invaded and occupied in the name of spreading freedom and democracy. However, these same values have been so readily and routinely violated through torture and pointless deaths of many thousands. Now, the US and British governments are attempting to cover the failure of their compromised values in an attempt to hide the truth about their disastrous foreign policy.
It is beyond belief that western politicians still claim - with a straight face - the values of freedom and democracy as non-negotiable!

Iraq: What has Democracy Delivered?
IT is absurd that while the Chilcot Inquiry questions Britain’s political class about the very justification for the invasion of Iraq the very same western colonists are eagerly promoting parliamentary elections in the country to justify their disastrous occupation.
The vote in 2005 established democracy, the big prize of invasion. Today’s parliamentary vote has some 6000 candidates fighting for 325 parliamentary seats.
As Iraqi politicians urge the people to vote again – what good has western backed democracy delivered in Iraq? This is the reality of Iraq toady!
Lack of basic human security remains the main concern for the people
Bomb blasts still litter the country
Corrupt politicians are endemic
Ethnic tensions divide the country now split along provincial lines
Sectarianism partitions local and regional communities
Unemployment remains amongst the highest in the Middle East
Whilst amongst the most oil rich countries in the world Iraq continues to suffer from fuel shortages
Basic utility infrastructure – clean water, electricity, gas, - remains elusive for most people
Seven years after the invasion to topple Saddam Hussein all that’s changed is a corrupt one man system nurtured by the west has been replaced by a so-called multi party political system which has festered ethnic and sectarian interests with western backed politicians and political alliances.
Democracy after about 200 years of application in Britain has perhaps never been at the low ebb as it is today. Yet it is astonishing that it is being sold to the Muslim world as the political solution to emulate.
It is heart wrenching to see Baghdad today when it is compared to Baghdad - the one-time capital of the Islamic state - with its rich and cultured history. Only when the Muslim world returns to the Caliphate system will it be able to repeat its successful history under the unified rule of Islam.
