The people in the past used to worship the idols which they used to make with their hands. Nowadays, people worship idols which are more intellectual – like democracy, liberalism, freedom, and so on. So these need to be destroyed as well, and replaced with worshipping and obeying Allah.

I rarely write about religion, even though I use a lot of religious concepts in my writing. This comment, however, by Anjem Choudary (hat tip to MEMRI), however, has made my blood boil. His comment reminds me of something that H. Beam Piper wrote years ago
“Oh, no, Mykhyl; it will belong to everybody,” Khreggor Chmidd told him earnestly. “But somebody will have to take care of it for everybody. That,” he added complacently, “will be you and me and the rest of us here.”
“I believe,” Yakoop Zhannar said, almost smiling, “that this freedom is going to be a wonderful thing. For us.”

Choudary’s “proposals”, which are in keeping with those more modest ones of Johnathon Swift, would have us destroy that which we have spent centuries working for to embrace a vision of social order which even the Prophet Muhammad would have opposed (or has Choudary never heard of the concept of Jihad outside of its irhabi variant?).
He, Choudary, would do well to go back and read, since I am certain that “re-read” would be incorrect, the Revivification of the religious Sciences by Abu Hamid al-Ghazali.
“Oh, no, Mykhyl; it will belong to everybody,” Khreggor Chmidd told him
earnestly. “But somebody will have to take care of it for everybody.
That,” he added complacently, “will be you and me and the rest of us
here.”
“I believe,” Yakoop Zhannar said, almost smiling, “that this freedom is
going to be a wonderful thing. For us.”
