Reader comment on item: Islamic but Not Shar‘i?
in response to reader comment: It is not Sharia , it is poverty

While it is true that Islamic nations need a change in their leadership, this change cannot and will not take place till Islam is there. People living in ISlamic societies have got used to having dictators as their rulers. It has become a part of the Muslim psche almost. Hence it is impossible to change the state of affairs in Islamic nations till Islam does not either adapt itself to the demands of the 21th century or does not go away fully. New leaders are not a solution to the problem.
