does any1 have any links to articles or videos that I could read up on about democracy being incompatible in Islam? So far, I know that it is Shirk to vote in elections according to a Scholar of Islam because he states that the state is now Al-Hakm and not Allah, the state now can legalize what Allah has put illegal(in other words humans can now turn what is haram into halal and vice versa). Well that's all I know, the reason why I'm asking is this, the Elections is coming up in Malaysia(Muslim Majority Country) and I want to gain more knowledge for me to understand why are people criticizing the leader and the youth are starting to vote for the opposition. BN(Barisan Nasional) is the state party that has been ruling this country for more than 40 years+ but I fail to see the reason why voting for the opposing party would be the 'right' choice as both parties stand for 'democracy'.
