It's from a site called

www.askimam.com

It's where Moslems can ask questions from religious leaders and get answers. Many of the questions are from Moslems living in western countries and are asking what is okay and not okay to do.

This one particular question interested me

The person asked how leaders should be chosen in an Islamic country.

The answer was that there are three recognized ways...

1. You pledge allegiance to an individual
2. The leader appoints his successor
3. The leader can delegate some authority to others.

I was sort of stunned thinking, are there really groups today who still openly aspire to dictatorship as their preferred form of government?

Take a look at the site. All the questions are organized by topic and are easily cross-referenced.
