Phantom of Demoncrazy (Democracy)
“Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpeting, and farewells him with hootings, only to welcome another with trumpeting again” – Khalil Gibran.
It is time for us as a nation, to anchor our impulsive hopefulness and rethink our ways. As the slave pharoh – namely Busharaf was ousted from power, the Pirates of yesteryears came back with their glittering crooks. Since then they have stood with heels high, because this time around, they are back under the banner of public mandate. Who said trading a Pharoh for dozens of Cyclops was a fair move? Ironic it may sound, but that is the very enshrined “wisdom” in the modern days witchcraft of Democracy(read Demoncrazy).
Why do I call it so?

Because it preys on peoples fear and gives deceiving hopes. The reality in a brief narrative stands: Everybody despised the dictator, not for his looks, height or background. But for the actions he sheepishly took and policies he shamefully pursued. Namely, submitting the dignity of the nation on a single call; betraying it closest ally across the border, selling the countries resources and letting whatever little remained to rot, selling, slaying and locking its own people from ordinary citizens, students, to journalists, scientists, lawyers and even judges. All in all, the flawed capitalist system fused together with a tyrant ruler unleashed a havoc upon its people. There was a light at the end of the tunnel. It could be sought, by discarding the corrupt system and its savage riders; and by reviving the system which was the beacon of light, and not just hope, for the Muslim civilization for centuries, namely the Caliphate. Yet, some of us chose to look the other way around. And placed all our dimes in the witchcraft: demoncrazy.
The ritual you ask? Placing trust in a system, where 17.7 million out of the population of more than 160 million, casted vote to give a bunch of bandits a second(…third) chance, to rule over the country. Giving them the sovereignty to decide what’s best for the masses. Sovereignty – which they delightfully serve to their godfather – Uncle Sam. Ritual once complete, gives the magic’s effect: hope is created out of thin air. But like any blow-on-knots practice, it’s only a little more temporary that a mirage.
With the new democratic government in place, we’ve all seen that the dark signals have as always remained open, to the policies that were being pursued before. Be it related to the “war ‘of’ terror”, or the crippling economic polices. Do we still ought to place trust in this rusted idea of democracy? Perhaps not. There is still light at the end of the tunnel. We only need to look up to the right direction, and make the right call i.e the re-establishment of Khilafah.
