" The Islamic state is a state which makes the Shareeah to be the judge and in which the sovereignty is for Allah glory be to Him Most High, and in which the rule is for the Shareeah, and the system of government in it is that of a Shura (consultative body) which adheres to the Shareeah and does not go against it. And sovereignty as defined by the jurists refers to the highest authority above which there is no other authority. On the other hand, the secular nationalist state makes what is not the Shareeah to be the judge, which mostly would be the whims of the majority, or to be precise, the whims of the majority of those voting. Therefore, sovereignty in such a state is for the people and the rule is for the whims of the majority, and the system of government in it is mostly democracy which follows the whims of the majority and does not go against it. This is the first grave difference". (1)

And he said in the series "Message of hope and joy to our people in Egypt":

"The democratic state will not be any other than a secularist one, i.e. an atheist one, because the rule and the source of law in it do not belong to Allah alone, glory be to Him, but for the whims of the majority ... And the Egyptian regime is a regime that claims to be democratic, that is, the source of law in it is the whims of the majority. On the other hand, the Islamic regime is a regime based on consultation in which the Ummah seeks judgement from the Shareeah, and refers to it for prosecuting its rulers whom they choose and hold accountable".

And he also said in the series "Message of hope and joy to our people in Egypt":

"But the one who goes deep into the matter will know that this is the reality of democracy, since democracy if investigated, is a religion that worships a single idol called as "whims of the majority" without adhering to any religion, or moral conduct, or value, or principle. So everything is relative and can be altered or changed according to the number of voters." (3)

And he also said in the series "Message of hope and joy to our people in Egypt":

"This is the reality of democracy. It permits everything no matter how degraded or contradictory it is, as long as it has the support of the majority.

Democracy in reality is the game of counting the votes without referring to any moral code, or value or religion. And this is the fundamental difference between Shura (consultation) which refers to the Shareeah, and between democracy which has no reference at all.

So it is not possible in the Shura for example, for the Muslim state to adhere to agreements with regards to dealing with the prisoners, or prevent torture, and then violate those agreements because the majority of the Shura council approves of it". (4)
