Question:
Can Muslim citizens be loyal to a non-Muslim government?
Summary Answer:
Many are loyal, of course, but it is in spite of Islamic teaching. Unlike other faiths, Islam is not just a religion but a political system as well. The state is intended to be inseparable from religious rule. Islamic law, or Sharia, is complete and not designed to coexist with or be subordinate to other legal systems.
Muslims are not meant to be ruled by non-Muslims. The Qur'an is very clear that they are to fight unbelievers until Islamic rule is established over all the earth. This doesn't mean that everyone must be forced to become Muslim, but rather that everyone must submit to Muslim rule.

Is this accurate or hype? |
Having read the English version of the Koran about 35 yrs ago, two statements by Muhammad resonate with me.
1, Muhammad said that as a Muslim living in a non Muslim you should abide by the laws of the land you live in as if they were my word.
2, That if as a Muslim you do not like these laws you must not try to change them, but leave the country and find a more acceptable home.
