One of the "fruits" of democracy:
 | quote: |
"By 1921 he [Adolf Hitler] was the unquestioned leader of what was now the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP or Nazi Party)...
"Against a background of economic depression and political turmoil, the Nazis grew stronger and in the 1932 elections became the largest party in the German parliament. In January 1933 Hitler became chancellor of a coalition government."

"How did this Austrian [Adolf Hitler] without title or position manage to get himself elected head of a German nation renowned for its civilizing mission? How to explain the success of his cheap demagogy in the heart of a people so proud of having inherited the genius of a Wolfgang von Goethe and an Immanuel Kant?
"...German society had rallied behind him: the judicial, the educational, the industrial and the economic establishments gave him their support."

Shaykh Al-Fawzaan said:
| quote: |
"It is permissible for Muslims to elect the grand Imaam (ruler of the Islaamic state) if they need to, but with the condition that Ahlul Hil wal 'Aqd of the Ummah (the leaders of the Muslim Ummah in knowledge and status) do so, and the rest of the Muslims are represented by them. Just as the Sahaabah did, may Allaah be pleased with them, when Ahlul Hil wal 'Aqd amongst them elected Abu Bakr as Sideeq, may Allaah be pleased with him and pledged allegiance to him. Subsequently this pledge was binding upon the rest of the Muslims. This also took place when ýUmar ibn al Khattaab appointed the remaining six of the ten companions who were given glad tidings that they would be in Jannah, to appoint a ruler after him. They chose 'Uthmaan ibn 'Afaan, may Allaah be pleased with him. They pledged allegiance to him and therefore this pledge was binding upon all the Muslims.
"...As for the elections that are known to take place in different countries in present times, such elections are not from the Islaamic system. Disorder, personal agendas, greed and personal relationships get drawn into them. Tribulations and the spilling of blood are also caused due to them, and they do not attain the intended objective, rather they become an arena for bids, trade and false claims."

This is also a refutation of those who believe (even if subconciously) that the "mainstream" opinion/culture/practices are correct.
Shaykh Ubayd hafithahullaah said, "...how excellent is what has been said by Fudayl bin 'Iyaad (rahimahullaah), 'You must follow the paths of guidance, and the scarcity of followers will not harm you. And beware of the paths of misguidance, and do not be deceived by the abundance of those who perish'.
And greater than this sentence in admonition and lesson, is what is authentically reported from the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), is that the nations were presented to him and that he saw a prophet having with him between three to ten people, and a prophet having with him one or two people, and a prophet who had no one with him."

In Romania, bid to make consensual incest legal
Bucharest: Surprising as it may seem, incest is not always a crime in Europe.
Three European Union nations - France, Spain and Portugal - do not prosecute consenting adults for incest, and Romania is considering following suit. The shocking case of Austrian Josef Fritzl, found guilty this week of holding his daughter captive for 24 years and fathering her seven children, has focused new attention on incest - which is a crime in itself in Austria even if the acts are consensual. But in the Fritzl case it was in connection with rape, homicide and other charges that led to a sentence of life in a secure psychiatric ward.
Laws exempting parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters from prosecution for incestuous acts if they are not forced upon adult family members are decades old in France, Spain and Portugal.
In Romania, decriminalizing incest among consenting adults is being considered as part of a wide range of reforms to the countryýs criminal code. No date has been set yet for a parliament vote on the bill, and opposition to the proposal is fervent even among some lawmakers in the ruling coalition.
Newspaper articles in Romania have criticized the planned legal change over consensual incest.

May Allaah protect the Muslims and guide these perverts. Aameen.
