thread_title:  Terminology 

message: A state is Islamic (laws of Allah by Quran/Sunnah) and Republic ("In a broad definition a republic is a state or country that is led by people who do not base their political power on any principle beyond the control of the people of that state or country"). It is a big joke and nothing else. Secondly By changing name a state does not become Islamic. There is NO Islamic State exist, except Iran (may be) for Shias only. --- Faisal 22:37, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nevertheless, "Islamic Republic" is still the name given in English to certain Muslim republics. That's just the way it is. According to the Afghanistan article, it too is an Islamic republic, and there are probably others. - THE GREAT GAVINI {T-C} 11:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Your definition of republic could also define a monarchy, or an ologarchy. Ironic, that it also describes Pakistan and Iran.Fuzbaby (talk) 01:28, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I've been thinking about the recent disagreement regarding the addition of Arabic Republics to this article and I've come up the the idea of renaming this article into "Republics in the Arab world." I see mostly an upside with this change suggestion. Thoughts/suggestions? JaakobouChalk Talk 23:50, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't need a solution when there isn't a problem. The title of this article is "Islamic Republic". The article is about states which designate themselves "Islamic Republic". The Islamic Republics of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan are NOT part of the Arab world. No Islamic Republic describes itself as an "Arab republic". --Folantin (talk) 07:54, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

text: indeed. There is no "disagreement", there is only User:Jaakobou failing to admit they have no case. If you do want to make yourself useful, turn Arab_world#States_and_territories into a clean table, including a column giving each country's full official name. --dab (𒁳) 09:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the suggestion dab, I may take up on it. Anyways the issue, IMHO, is that both "republics" are simply self described as such and only a handful of them could honestly be described as republics. The article's title is actually misleading and it is quite suggestive of false information as if "Islamic republic" is an established form of government with a clear structure (article makes a clear but ref-less argument that it doesn't). Anyways, I'm not insisting on connecting the two, but I am interested in further clarifications of the two widely different "republics" of both the self-described as Islamic Republic, and the self described as Arab Republic. I'd be interested in any suggestions that help bring this article to wikipedia standards of sourcing and helps bring along also the Arab Republic "gov. style". Thoughts/suggestions?

thread_title:  Suggested solution 

message: :Islamic Republic → NewName — In keep with wikipedia guidelines,etc. Not a term in which the second word is by necessity capitalized. Ie., it's correct to write either " the Islamic Republic" or "the Islamic republic" unless it is used as part of "The Islamic Republic of Iran", etc. Pisharov (talk) 02:07, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: This sentence seems ambiguous: 
"Iran's Islamic republic is in contrast to the semi-secular state of the Republic of Pakistan (proclaimed as an Islamic Republic in 1956) where Islamic laws are technically considered to override laws of the state, though in reality their relative hierarchy is ambiguous."
which is it referring to, Iran or Pakistan?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.233.182.92 (talk) 21:25, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: No, it's not an Islamic republic, the move is unconstitutional. The constitution needs to be amended first. Just because the State House has decided to start using that designation, that does not overturn the country's written constitution. I have removed it, as in the The Gambia article. --B.Lameira (talk) 12:34, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
