Sultanate
Jan08 2012 English

In Islam each person is created to occupy a certain place, to carry a certain role, and he is fully equipped for it. In Democracy, people think they can create their destinies and change their places and other people's too. The result is a loss of faith, of order, of efficiency and of harmony.
