ahh I hate discussing religion because its suppose to be something personal. Look there are different interpretations, based on my readings and the values of a welfare state mentioned in quran, I believe we canadianne have already achieved and strived to do better what an islamic states purpose is suppose to be though not a perfect one but we have social justice, safety for citizens, national child care(similar to the second caliphate's system), accessible health care(2nd caliphate), freedom to believe whatever you choose to believe in, a good taxation system(zakat). i believe if your looking for a islamic state, canada would be your best bet and if god wills it will stay this way. Historically ideal islamic states are open to interpretation, as no body is a perfect muslim as my grandpapa said, we are all trying our best to be muslims and that is a very difficult challenge that people of islamic faith take on in their life.
While contrary to popular beliefs its not easy living a moral life, sometimes you get temptations to lie, cheat and sin on your fellow members of society but again from my experience and now i am not imposing my beliefs, islam has helped me live a better life morally and makes me stay on the path. (its very easy to go on the wrong path and thats is why muslims recite sura al fataha through the 5 prayers to keep ourselves on righteous path). Personally islam's for me has been been a positive influence though it is difficult sometimes especially during ramadan month, when the hunger feeling aches your body and bon. this feeling believe me living in west is so unnatural, when food is readily available but people in the world are suffering and dieing everyday and it inspires me to keep doing charity work, when i could sit on my butt and play video games, so it keeps everything in perspective. Sorry to go on a tangent but that is how islam personally affects my life and I think it has had a positive affect on my academics, my family life and I think with my work to a certain degree. I kinda went on a rant because I do notice alot of confused posts from indienne that do not have alot of information on islam and some fellow muslims in the past have really tarnished the image of islamic faith in the subcontinent l'asie.
koran is the word of god and everything that contradicts it should not be followed. If you have confusion please refer to this sura as it will help you understand islamic perspective i guess from the actual text, now remember there is no perfect translation of the actual source but we are trying to get as close to the translation as possible, classic arabic without a doubt is very challenging to say the least and it being the word of god on top of that.

edit: I earlier got arrogant which is wrong, we have no achieved the perfect state and its not possible either though we have to strive towards one. 2:62 Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.
