nobody asked:


If Islam asks for submission to Allah in all aspects of life (politics, economics, law, etc.) then is it only a religion? Can it be classified as an ideology or all encompassing belief system?

See the University of Southern California’s Muslim Student Association website for the text below:

The message of Islam was conveyed in only two ways: in the form of a book, and in the living example of the Prophet. These two are the basis for a way of life which is acceptable to both mind and heart - it is neither illogical nor impersonal. It is in fact the only true way of life revealed from the Creator. The scope of this way of life is vast enough that it transcends the traditional notion of ‘religion’. Islam includes submitting to Allah in the realm of politics, economics, law, etc.

bpeter3196 asked:


Democrats will make politics out of anything. I read an article about how Bush is to blame for global warming how global warming is to blame for the fires and how planes and helicopters who only carry limited amounts of water should have flown even if conditions arent right because they could have put out the fires. Does anyone realize that southern california has always been know for its unpredictible often changing and powerful warm winds during the summer and fall months which isn’t good for aircraft or fires? If those aircraft were grounded because of wind conditions and they still flew then who is to blame if one crashes and kills everyone on board or on the ground? Yes the government can be over causious maybe the aircraft could have flown but buying a gun to prevent violences doesnt guarantee you won’t have violence if the planes had flown but crashed Dems would be using that to attack republicans for the aircraft flying. Why cant party politics stop in events like disasters
