There should not be separation of religion from politics, because religion is theology, law and politics, and callers for the separation are secular non-religious.

Yes it’s necessary to distinguish religion from politics. Why? because we are the ones who make politics. What are politics? When we say policy we refer to all the profane scattered items. Politics are a bunch of statements with lying, swindling and even polytheism in which everything is manipulated in order to please the listeners. Islam has nothing to do with politics unless opposites can meet in that case Islam can agree with politics. It’s clear and doesn’t need further explanations and thank you

It was reported that (Winston Churchill) once passed by a tomb with the inscription “Here rests the honest man and the great politician”. He said it was the first time he was seeing two persons in one grave. If we consider that the exigencies of politics require specifications that are totally incompatible with the values ​​of religion, there is no justification to mix religion with politics and the current scene of the heated competition for the political positions would be then acceptable to some extent. Yet, to use religion and force it into this stagnant pond for election gains, this is a cacophony and unjustified. On the other hand, if we consider that the very purpose of politicians is to serve the people and promote and provide for a decent life, then that’s what interests citizens like the establishment of a school or a paved road or create jobs. In the end, the citizen will not differentiate between a school or a factory founded by a liberal governor, a secular or an Islamist, though it’s certain that religion is an influencing factor and the sacred is respected in the conscience of the people. Those who hold political positions or those who are seeking ones realized this dimension. That’s why you see decision-makers use the card of religion to polish their images during election days. Once elections are over and they achieve their goals, they quickly discard it in the Recycle Bin. For a brief comparison, let’s take a look at systems based on religion and God, such as Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Afghanistan and Iran. We will not find it difficult to recognize the magnitude of the disaster afflicting the citizens in these countries by virtue of the flagrant violation of human rights and the spread of unemployment and forced ignorance and the spread of grievances. That’s why I say religion is for God, and homelands for people who have to choose the forms of rule, laws and constitutions away from religious texts, because these laws are flexible and based on experience and are adjustable and even vetoed, while with regard to religion, it’s fixed and restricting humans behaviour and organising the relationship of man with God and his relation with his or her duties towards others. Thanks Zawaya for the opportunity to participate.

The separation of religion from politics remains a challenge in North-African countries. As a matter of fact, these countries, undermined by the lack of meaningful democratic and pluralist systems, are facing one of the most horrible misery, that affects the majority of the population. This is mostly due to the failure of corrupt and clientelists governments. This can be exemplified by the “Arab spring”. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Islamist political movements are making significant progress within national parliaments with a minimum level of democracy. And everything suggests that this trend will continue in the coming years. So, the separation of religion from politics in these countries remains a pious hope! Poor people represent an important recruitment potential for Islamist currents, because the mafia-like oligarchies in power care only about themselves and are living a life of complete luxury while misery spreads among people. Deyloule.

We should leave the Maghreb yuck and return to North Africa, the only place where we are welcome in the world.

In the past, mankind used to follow the logic it deemed appropriate to resolve and manage its worldly affairs. When accumulations started to overwhelm relationships between human groups, life became disrupted, and humanity became threatened by extinction as a result of conflicts and divergence in interests and desires. Then the apostles came as bringers of good tidings, and warners of the imminent danger gnawing away at the social system and threatening to end the divine function behind the creation of man. No matter how mature and aware people are, they still need tight legislation to govern and manage practices in life and the hereafter, even if the spiritual practices of people are their reflections in the universe and nature, hoping to be saved from the evils of their actions, and their harm to the environment. In ancient times, the religion revealed or created by the human mind was the framework governing and regulating all aspects of life. In the A.D. era, materialism was prevalent in society as a firm belief and a main foundation. This pushed individuals and human groups to reject the foundations, values and rules revealed by the prophets and apostles. Prior to Islam, tribalism was the basis of power in the peninsula, with a few remnants from the Hanafi and Judaic beliefs, in the form of rituals and spiritual formalities, but they were linked to the logic of the tribe and clan, along with the orders and prohibitions they dictate, and the practices they impose regarding serving the interests of the tribe. The emergence of Islam put an end to believing in the tribe and its links. People who were strong before Islam converted and embraced the new religion. Therefore, individuals became unparalleled forces in society, motivated by a spiritual power of faith and peace, until Islam reached the peak of power and greatness. Until the fifteenth century, Europe was living a period of darkness, ignorance and illiteracy, after the demise of civilization in its Greek east and Roman west. In Europe, people entrusted their religious and worldly matters to feudal and clerical figures.

Morocco is forever progressing. We, Moroccans, are tolerant.

I think it’s absurd to try mixing religion and politics; the former is faith-related, which is intimate, and the latter is related to the public sector! Some claim that Islam is about life and religion, and they are not wrong, but the political regimes in power should be Islamist, apply the Sharia, have a Caliphe, and have honest – not fundamentalist – political staff. As long as some people only accept democracy to reach power, then divert it for their own objectives (their “thirst for power”) in the name of Islam, the latter will be resisted or even rejected. By doing that, these zealots will be cutting off their nose to spite their face! The only proof I need is the results of the Islamists (Green Alliance) in the recent Algerian elections! Claiming otherwise would be cheap literature!!!

In the name of God, religion is the basis of everything and is otherworldly while politics is profane and is not indispensable. Religion is a science that illuminates everything, and is victorious, God willing. I hope that peoples and leaders separate religion from politics because if they don’t then that’s playing with fire and offending the sacred. God is the Guide and God knows

We must separate religion and politics, because whoever mixes the two only seeks the sympathy of religious people to have their votes. Therefore, I believe that it’s mere deceit in the name of religion.

On reading history carefully we can understand the concept of policy. If it is the conduct of the affairs of the nation in all fields then it’s one of the principles of management, hence considered a manner of facilitating the life of the individual. Therefore it can not be separated from religion because it is supposed to be derived from the working methods of the Almighty who stated = (We have not neglected in the Register a thing)

Politics stems from religion, but religion is authentic.
