So then wouldn't the short answer be "by force"? I have a hard time believing that everyone would just be on board because the scholars said they should be, and they'd have no opportunity to voice any opposition. So when you say that under Sharia law, people are still allowed to vote on things, the complete thought is actually that they're only allowed to vote on things the rulers decide to allow them to vote on. That kind of nullifies the true value of voting.

And earlier in the thread, you said this:
