The Islamic order can only be established in countries where Muslims represent the majority of the population. If this is not the case, the Islamic order is reduced to mere power (as the other element - an Islamic society - is missing) and may turn to violence.

In order to be Islamic, a solution must fulfill two conditions: it must be maximally efficient and maximally humane.
