I want Khilafah back
A paper/article published in the Global Economic Journal by 2 George Washington scientists, Scheherazade S. Rehman and Hossein Askari, finds that the top 10 most Islamic countries out of 208 are as follows:
1. New Zealand
2. Luxembourg
3. Ireland
4. Iceland
5. Finland
6. Denmark
7. Canada
8. U.K.
9. Australia
10. Netherlands
they look into each country and how they compare to the Islamic teachings in the following aspects:
(1) Economic IslamicityIndex (EI2)
The (EI2) index attempts to rank the self-declared Islamic nations as to the degree
that their policies, achievements, and realities are in accordance with a set of
Islamic economic principles. Essence of Islamic economic principals can be
embodied into three fundamental goals; (a) achievement of economic justice and
achievement of sustained economic growth, (b) broad-based prosperity, and job
creation, and (c) adoption of Islamic economic and financial practices. Table 1
details these goals into their more specific objectives and Table II describes the
various measurements, variables and proxies for the Economic IslamicityIndex.
(2) Legal and Governance IslamicityIndex (LGI2)
This index is an attempt to capture the two key areas of the legal and governance
environment of a country. In doing so it measures degree of effectiveness and
competence of government governance and legal integrity (including degree of
military interference). Table III describes the various measurements, variables and
proxies for the Legal and Governance IslamicityIndex
(3) Human and Political Rights IslamicityIndex (HPI2)
This index represents an attempt to measure the degree of human and political
rights in the 208 countries. It uses specific measurements for civil and political
rights, women's rights, other rights, political risk, and genocide prevention, which
can be found in more detail in Table VI.
(4) International Relations IslamicityIndex (IRI2)
This index is an attempt to capture a country’s relationship to the global
community with respect to several keys areas of environmental contribution,
globalization, military engagement, and overall country risk. Table V describes
the various measurements, variables and proxies for a country’s relationship to the
global community as embodied in our International Relations IslamicityIndex
It's quite an interesting article. To read the whole thing go to the link below:
