“The book mainly discusses the political thinking of Muslims throughout twelve centuries. However, the content is based on a theory that I have never seen in the form presented herein. And that is, after the thirty-year rule that followed the unique ways of Prophet Mohammad (S.), politics in the Muslim world has only been governed by tyranny. Muslim or not, all philosophers agree that this is the worst type of politics. All in all, tyranny has practically been the most common form of politics practiced in all times and places. Even today, one can see the international community somehow oppressed by practices that have roots in tyranny.
“I believe that political power has been the root cause behind the refusal from political thinking in the Islamic world following (the scholar) Farabi, and governance of a kind of Sufism on the mentality and literature of many Muslims. Oppression, corruption and lies have been the main drives behind this political power.
“Muslims suffered irreparable damage since their religion and intellect became trapped in tyranny. The ironical fact is that the Holy Book of Islam, more than anything, stresses on wisdom and intellectuality, and that a true faith must be based on these two. Absolute power and authority, practiced by any entity other than the Almighty, is a blatant indication of blasphemy.”
