President Pervaiz Musharraf won a landslide victory in elections in Pakistan today and will become the democratically elected head of the Islamic State of Pakistan.
In recent years there has been a suggestion by some that Pervaiz Musharraf is an unelected dictator, even though the Ulema of Pakistan, following the classical scholarly opinions, have said that he is the Ameer al-Muminin and is the legitimate ruler of Pakistan.
Pervaiz Musharraf has all the hallmarks of the true Islamic leader - he has fought the Wahabbi Islamists in Afghanistan and Waziristan and has cooperated with the People of the Book of the USA in helping them to defeat the terrorists. Only a true Islamic leader would do this. He also ordered the brave attack on the Lal Masjid which was the centre of terrorism. If the people in the Lal Masjid came to power they may kill millions, so they must be killed first.
Today is a historic day - the people of Pakistan have spoken and given Musharraf their resounding support. As the Mufti of Egypt has said, "Muslims are free to choose whichever system of government they deem most appropriate for them". General Musharraf is a Muslim and he has chosen this system of government that he deems to be appropriate. Therefore he has a Shubha Daleel.

Message from Hosni Mubarak to Ed Husain et al.
From: The Office of the Commander of the Believers, President of the Islamic Republic of Egypt, His Eminence, Hosni Mubarak
To: Ed Husain, Rashad Zaman Ali, Maajid Nawaz et al.
Dear Brothers,
I have read with great comfort your words of support and am happy to be enjoying good health. The mufti has made me aware of your joint fight against those backward people who want a "caliphate" not realising that I am the Ameer of the believers, ruling with justice over Dar al-Islam. Do they not realise that a caliphate is now old and that Maulana George has made it clear that there is a semblance of an evidence that the Egyptian regime is the next best thing? I also learnt of your fight against the prohibition of apostasy, homosexuality and usury - you must fight these backward Muslims who want to implement ancient laws in the twenty first century.
I was especially happy to read the articles in the Sunday papers about Nawaz - we have taught him well and we hope he will continue to repay us with such works - he must defend the office of the President, after all I'm not as bad as Hajjaj bin Yusuf, who was really evil.
Accept my greetings,
Hosni

Ameer al-Mumineen Hosni Mubarak in good health
Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif today announced that Ameer al-Mumineen Hosni Mubarak is in good health and will continue to rule Dar al-Islam, the Islamic state of Egypt.
In recent weeks there have been rumours that Ameer Hosni has been in bad health and would not be able to contest party elections in November.
This announcement will put the minds of many at rest - the Ameer will now be able to stand for the elections and once again be chosen by the popular mandate of the masses.
NB: for any who doubt that Ameer Hosni is the Ameer al-Mumineen presiding over Dar al-Islam in Egypt like Amr ibn al-'As before him, please see the view of the independent Mufti of Egypt Ali Gomaa who writes: "This flexibility is present in the Islamic political sphere as well, but this is a point that is often missed. Many assume that an Islamic government must be a caliphate, and that the caliph must rule in a set and specific way. There is no basis for this vision within the Islamic tradition. The caliphate is one political solution that Muslims adopted during a certain historical period, but this does not mean that it is the only possible choice for Muslims when it comes to deciding how they should be governed. The experience that Egypt went through can be taken as an example of this. The period of development begun by Muhammad Ali Pasha and continued by the Khedive Ismail was an attempt to build a modern state. This meant a reformulation of Islamic law. This process led Egypt to become a liberal state run by a system of democracy without any objections from Muslim scholars. Muslims are free to choose whichever system of government they deem most appropriate for them."
