The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Should a Muslim be able to hold office?

But does that mean they should not be able to hold office if that is what the people want according to the US system?
That is the dilemma that I see. I believe all Muslims want Sharia Law. The Western ones want to do it by peaceful stealth; where they gradually are able to do that by getting into office. Whereas, the more violent ones, such as ISIL do not care how it is obtained. They will even kill fellow Muslims to try to do it.
