I read somewhere that because Allah created us he 'predicts' exactly every option we might take. A bit like a military strategist you could say except that Allah never gets it wrong.

Well, that's anthropomorphism. First off, Allah is not a thing or a human that cannot know what he is creating and what he creates will evolve into. Allah is a force that creates and drives the universe more like it. Anthropomorphism in the Qur'an were only metaphorical to better explain to people who did not understand, much like the 6 day creation part.

You misunderstood my comment but maybe thats because i didnt make it clear enough. When i say 'predict' i dont mean it in a human sense where we guess and hope for the best. The Allah type of 'predict'(notice the weird thingies i add to make it clear its not supposed to be the human predict but in a metaphoric sense like you say) is like for example, Im on the computer now, Allah has 'predicted' what i do next, and next, and next, and next. He 'predicted what i was gonna do before i was born.
This is after all just a theory i read. Im not sure which explanation is best so i just ignored it for now. Maybe when im older ill be able to comprehend it better.

What is a antonymous democracy?

My spellchecker must have changed it, it's supposed to be autonomous.

Autonomous Democracy, or Democratic Autonomy. Basically, a self-governing, self-determinate state run by the people for the people. Smaller government on a local level is what I would be advocating. But also with strong cross-border cooperation and unity; socialism with the absence of nationalism. An egalitarian state promoting both individualism and collectivism. The ideal would be world unity through secular humanism, but the practical would be, as I see it, a socialist form of Pan-Islamism.

My conceptual nation could be labeled something akin to "The Democratic Federal Socialist Republic of the United Autonomous Provinces of the Islamic Commonwealth', the opposite of practically all governments in the world today, essentially. It's a seemingly novel idea, but it can become actualized, insha'Allāh.

Inshallah

Why a caliphate?

The division of the Muslim lands is how they defeated us. They did the same thing to the Soviets.
Divide and conquer ideology. They murdered Khaddafi because he wanted unity in Africa.
Now they're sponsoring terrorism and insurrection in the Muslim lands, putting constraints on national economies; forcing Muslim nations to succumb to Zionist usury to secure national debt.
There is a strong need for unity, if we are to defeat the jāhil, the dajjāl, the kuffār, the fire-worshipers and those whom pray at the Altar of Evil in the Church of Murder, and the Synagogue of Satan.

Innama jazao allatheenayuhariboona Allāha warasoolahu wayas3awna feeal-ardi fasadan an yuqattaloo aw yusallabooaw tuqatta3a aydeehim waarjuluhum min khilafin awyunfaw mina al-ardi thalika lahum khizyun fee addunyawalahum fee al-akhirati 3athabun 3atheem.

The caliphate wont bring back unity or improve the situation simply because the caliphate style of governance is now extinct. Saladin united the whole of the warring states and defeated the crusaders without the caliphate. The Prophet PBUH didnt rule as a Caliph. No where in Islam does it say you must use a caliphate to be successful, all it says it live and rule according to Islam. You can live according to Islam using countries and democracy. Its time muslims got their act together. Its because of unrealistic and unhelpful hopes like the caliphate that we are still in such a mess.

I think i read somewhere that every animal is a 'muslim' because it follows the laws Allah created.

That makes sense.

Christians always get upset when I say Jesus was a Muslim. I suppose it all comes down to how one interprets the term.

Indeed.

Koray's mum is very wise. Like she said. If they call themselves muslim regardless of whatever they do just leave it between them and Allah.

I find it so weird you mentioned Koray's mom LOL

Hehe. Didnt he mention that he asked his mum if shias were muslims and she said if they say they're muslims its between them and Allah (or something along those lines). It stuck with me.

The Conspiracy theorists skepticism is understandable though. Like TIOOG said some random arabs making it through US Security. It does make you wonder how they achieved that feat and what on earth the security forces were playing at. Same with 7/7. All the security cameras stopped working all of a sudden. However despite this i still believe Radical Filth did commit the 9/11 and 7/7 tragedies.

How convenient that you totally ignore 9:6 right Canadian Atheist?
