Firstly, exorcising the evil within . . .

Many countries that includes my own believes that in order to create a truly Islamic order upon their own, one has to denounce and replace the current practices of other existence mainly Western dominated culture and by doing so, some even willing to go to the extent of striking a " Jihad " against others. The Crusades against Muslim thousands years ago . . . how is that ? As for me it's pretty similar.

As written by Huda that  The Qur'an describes Jihad as a system of checks and balances, as a way that Allah set up to "check one people by means of another." When one person or group transgresses their limits and violates the rights of others, Muslims have the right and the duty to "check" them and bring them back into line.
 

"And did not Allah check one set of people by means of another,

the earth would indeed be full of mischief;

but Allah is full of Bounty to all the worlds"
-Qur'an 2:251
But do they, I mean the living GOP had tried to come to the terms with its own past, a past of corruptions and injustice, a past of manipulation of facts and the acts of beheading the truths ? Remember, the Dunya ( matters of the world ) and Din ( religion ) speaks for everything.

If one insisted that (s)he could manage the country incorruptibly and fair then (s)he has to exorcising the ghosts within . . .


Cleansing yourself with your true faith and then come forward to tell the people that " You are ready to be chosen "


Faith is nothing and baseless but we are and so do not put your own perceptions and tricks upon it . . .
Faith is tasteless and is a vacuum and so do not paint it with your color of choice . . .
Faith is what we have so to distinguish our goods from the evil . . . 
Faith is the Check and Balance
