;Analysis
*Governments necessarily need to hid some things from citizens. They cannot also give perfect justice. Injustice to someone or something is inevitable. In setting the above blanket rules for Islamic governments, Wahhab and DeLong-Bas have justified totalitarianism in a subtle form. If a government fails to stick to the above rules what will the people do to it? What will the neighboring Islamic country do it? What should the militants do? We leave the answers as a guess to the reader.
