Islamic Anarchist?

It seems to me that Islam is consistent with anarchy, since Islam presume religion is superior to man made organizations such as a state.  And naturally, since religion is necessary and sufficient to the needs of mankind, should man elect to have no state, this is neither here not there to Islam.  Just as it is to Christianity.  Therefore, a Moslem anarchist should not be remarkable.  Here is an article on one such person:

One of the women who spoke at the Women’s Assembly during the World Social Forum in Tunisia was not a political activist, but a cartoonist. Dooa Eladl is 34-year-old Egyptian woman who calls herself a Muslim anarchist. Her work appears in the prominent newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm She has become one of Egypt’s best-known political cartoonists, in a field completely dominated by men. (One of her humorous drawings is a portrait of herself marching to work, her hair tied to the mustaches of four of her male colleagues.)

Islam should welcome such, and I am sure, as in the post below on Minister Farrakhan, he would be pleased.

Please feel free to share this post with three of your friends.
