hearkening back to the so-called "golden age of Islam,"

Just what did happen to that golden age, anyway?

Claiming that the brutality of the Taliban in Afghanistan and the mullahs in Iran are distortions of sharia law rather than examples of its true implementation, Nawaz promised that under the proposed caliphate, rulers would be democratically elected and accountable to the people, while women's rights would be protected.

Right, and just what will be done with those Talibans and Mullahs under Sharia? Where in the muslim world are caliphs truly elected democratically?

Sure... under Shari’a law, women have lots of rights. The right to a beating at the hands of any male, the right to permanent subservience, the right to genital mutilation, the right to a swift, brutal “honor killing”, the right to be stoned to death for any number of perceived infractions, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
