Comment:-
I would say it was a contradiction. For "just" in any "faith-based" state
must be implying justice as dictated by the religious dogma, articles and
doctrines, of that particular 'faith', Islamic or otherwise. How can a
"faith-based" state not have its 'faith' as its ultimate conviction? As a
consequence, if it sacrifices its 'faith' to expediency, then its not
"faith-based"?

Its somewhat similar to the "just" theory within the 'new world order'
context being consistently espoused by the 'power elite'. In that once its
implemented, on a global scale, 'justice' will automatically flow. To me
that's 'order versus justice' because 'order' comes before, or takes
precedence over, 'justice'. What kind of 'justice' is that? Is such
arbitrary justice, "just"? Isn't this another "just" paradox?

Sometimes, I ask myself is the 'new world order' not in reality "faith
based". I expect that many other subscribers, Muslims or otherwise, share
that same feeling.
