There is the example of the community of the prophet in the Medina and statements in the Quran, the hadith, the writings of early Muslims which discuss what it means to be a just ruler, and what is the proper role of government. You can certain talk about how the ruler should be responsive to the needs of the people, and shouldn't be a tyrant, and that government officials shouldn't be corrupt, etc. without having to swallow along with it secular liberal capitalsm. Perhaps you should define "ideology"? So we can avoid arguing different things - or God forbid! arguing the same point of view from two different perspectives.   Regards   Scott __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
