Imam Shah Karim Al Husseyni visits His Pamiri Murids(Historic Time)-Rare Video!--Part 2

 

The West must move away from the idea of wanting to transpose its vision of democracy identically into the Islamic world. This cannot work. The West cannot simply erase 1400 years of Muslim history. Islam is by no means a contradiction to democracy, quite the contrary. I am not first and foremost a democrat because of the ideas of the Greeks or the French, but because of fundamental principles which were already being developed in the Muslim world in the seventh century in the immediate aftermath of the death of the prophet Muhammad.
