Question…We Burmese are familiar with the Buddha’s teaching. Could you kindly share us an advice as a conclusion based on your Islamic back ground? Answer…Yes, I would finally like to advise one thing. When our Prophet conquered and entered Medina, in Arabia: he had practiced the CONCEPT OF POWER SHARING. He understood that no one race alone should or could rule the country. He accepted that no one race is superior to another. There is no superior race and every body is same. So the first foundation of Islamic state is the Multi Racial Society. So my advice to non Muslims and Muslims, who wish to change to democracy_ Whether (you are) Academicians, Professionals, Politicians, Oppositions… all must unite. Don’t form different groups but unite into a big single group. In any struggle for change to democracy, no one race can live and fight alone. Don’t discard the other races with the mentality to form one superior race just because they are not like you. If not your struggle and policy will definitely fail. So I think this is the spirit of human dignity and the feelings of human beings regardless of race and religion. That should be the basic of any struggle. http://shahrulpeshawar.wordpress.com/2007/11/30/interview-with-mr-ahmad-azam-abdul-rahman/
