You believe that a harmonious integration of Islamic principles and democratic values can lead to a just, equitable, and prosperous society.
Islamic Democracy is a political ideology that seeks to blend democratic principles with Islamic law and values. It is a form of government where the laws of Islam are considered in the decision-making process, but the democratic principles of freedom, equality, and justice are also upheld. The concept of Islamic Democracy is often seen as a response to the Western model of secular democracy, which separates religion from the state.
The history of Islamic Democracy is complex and multifaceted. The concept itself is relatively modern, emerging in the late 20th century as a result of…

How do your personal beliefs shape the way you envision a fair and just society?
@9J6RGCHLibertarian4mos4MO
Religion should never be mixed with the government, period. Especially in the case of Abrahamic religions, which often oppress different groups of people.
@9J7JXLD 4mos4MO
America as a nation was originally established entirely on the concept of separation of church and state. Time and time again throughout world history as well as our nation’s history, religion has been proven to be a gateway to corruption, and abuse of power that’s deemed justified in the name of God. To go back on this stance and allow religious influence within political circles and the establishment of laws would quite literally render everything our founding fathers sacrificed and established obsolete.
@9J6R6V94mos4MO
I admire that they have strict laws so they are fair and just.
@9J6RJGS4mos4MO
Your personal beliefs shape the way, because what you see as fair someone else might not. This can cause conflict or you to see another viewpoint.
@9J6R8CB4mos4MO
People should live comfortably regardless of their religious beliefs.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you ensure fair representation of different cultures in a nation’s celebrations and public holidays?
@9JQ9GQK 3mos3MO
I don’t think there should be a blend of Islamic ideas involved with the proceedings of government. I don’t even believe there should Christian values considered with the making of laws. I think religion and law should be two completely different entities that are both respected and understood in their own manners. That others can be submitted to poor rule because of another cultures religion.
@9JQ98KCPeace and Freedom3mos3MO
no I don't think that it's not that important to have other's holidays
@9JQ88QRPeace and Freedom3mos3MO
To have off that day of the holiday, that would show fair treatment also it should be shown in the news how it's celebrated. So people can be more educated.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If you had the power to create a new holiday that fosters unity, what would it look like and why?
@9J6TRCR4mos4MO
Religion/Culture day. A day to take off and practice ones religion and or culture without judgement.
@9J6Y97L4mos4MO
It was the idea of America that you can do that anyways. We shouldn't need a single day where you go "unjudged" because that was the whole point of being able to freely practice religion.
@9J6TY8C4mos4MO
I'd just have a day of positvity to look at all the good in the world for once.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Can you describe a time when you felt it was important to stand up for a peer's rights in school or in your community?
@9JK8C7Y4mos4MO
I think maybe when a student had a right to something a teacher was trying to take away.
@9JK89WG4mos4MO
i felt when my peers were unjustly accused of something i would stand of for them in school
@9JK88G44mos4MO
My boy was getting flamed in the lunch line so I had to jump in and defend his honor
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What does 'freedom of conscience' mean to you in the context of balancing one's faith with civic responsibilities?
@9KS9HVS2mos2MO
Being aware of the freedom you have and balancing it with responsibilities
@9KS9BJJ2mos2MO
Personal faith has the ability to instill certain morals on a group of people. Though it is possible, for good morals to be a result of this, personal religion should not be used as a deciding factor for everything
@9KS988N2mos2MO
It means that you have the freedom to choose what you want to do .
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would you balance religious beliefs with your right to vote if they seemed to conflict with each other?
@9HHB6Z5Independent5mos5MO
If I disagree with the religion then why am I living in an islamic democracy
@9HH75CZ5mos5MO
I would choose which one means the most to me and go with that.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Can the Islamic emphasis on social justice contribute to fairer economic policies within a democracy?
@9HDMGQD6mos6MO
I don't think mixing people's religion and government is a good idea. It will always indirectly effect people decisions but I don't think it should be able to make the laws.
@9HDM9LM6mos6MO
By prioritizing equality and the well being of every member of society, the islamic principles can guide the development of stuff that adresses income inequality, poverty and just over all basic necessities
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What experiences have made you appreciate the importance of having a voice in decision-making?
@9J449554mos4MO
I am muslim, so I understand the significance of having a voice.
@9HTH7ZZPeace and Freedom5mos5MO
I think the importance of having a voice in the decision is reflected in the fact that I chose to study abroad and decided which university I chose to attend. Because I need to make my own decisions about my life, it's important that I have a say in my college choice.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
To what extent should individual rights be influenced by religious doctrine in an Islamic democracy?
@9HCX7K46mos6MO
Democracy has failed and all governments should be abolished
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you believe a government should reflect the religious values of its people, why or why not?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you envision a fair society that upholds both personal beliefs and the common good?
@9KRZ5SM2mos2MO
I envision a branch that gives the people major things they request and assist with those. Like help during a hurricane, etc.
@9KRZ2HY2mos2MO

@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would you negotiate between the need for uniformity in law and the respect for diverse cultural practices?
@9J44DLD4mos4MO
The US should not interfere or fund either side in this matter.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How would you go about creating a student organization that honors both democratic leadership and religious inclusivity?
@9L4LDNWRepublican2mos2MO
Have a supervisor of some kind oversee the organization and report back to whatever board is funding said organization.
@9L4L93L 2mos2MO
I wouldn't, religion and government must be held separate at any ends. You cannot have democracy and religion symbiotic.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How can a sense of community be fostered across different belief systems within a democracy?

Communities with different reli- gious orientations enjoyed religious autonomy. ... dle East Institute, November 21, 2000, “Islamic Democracy and Islamic ...
@9KY8T552mos2MO
I may not know much about this, but I do not see it as an oxymoron. The only reason I say so is because Islam is not some "evil" or "power-hungry" force, it is simply a religion people practice. We would not sit back and say similar notions about Jewish people because it would be incredibly antisemitic, so why would we let that slide when it comes to Islamic citizens?
