King,
Poke around here:
http://www.faithfreedom.org/ and here:
http://www.DanielPipes.org/ One thing to remember is that submission to any man- Prime Minister, President, whoever- is just this side of idol worship to Islam, which demands submission only to God.
Another thing: there is no Mulim equivalent to the Pope, so no single clear interpreter of text and tradition, with all the troubles that can ensue from not having someone, for lack of a better term, in charge.
thanks, those shall be useful... assuming my esteemed opponents care to read (which I begin to very much doubt)
