An Israeli arrives at London's Heathrow airport. As he fills out the entry form, the immigration officer asks him: "Occupation?" The Israeli promptly replies: "No, No, just visiting!"

Curioustraveller, technically you are right and you think just like me. There is not a single Islamic state that can really really be called an Islamic State. Every Islamic or should I say predominantly Moslem state is either running on western-type democracy or is overwhelmingly being governed on colonial laws with not even a pinch of Islam. For instance where I am from (Pakistan) a Fatwa issued by an authorised Jurist or authentic faqih is "NOT ENTERTAINED IN THE CIVIL COUTS". So there we go!!!

What makes a state an Islam state? Is it leaders are Islam, or the type of government (I.E. communism vs. democracy) or are there other requirements?I am just really curious. Around here if you hear of Islamic state they think of a country which Islam has "overthrown the government" and I know that is not the real meaning.Thanks for all your help. I love you all.Dan sims
