The issue isn't whether its realistic, but whether its necessary. The Ummah is suffering due to hegemony, that hegemony cannot be corrected by the system that it advocates since it will only end up reinforcing its own power. You would have to work to develop an alternative system.
How isn't an Ummah wide strategy realistic? Voting in a bunch of elections when you're 1% of the population is more realistic?

Define "belief". Do I believe it exists? Yes. Do I believe its a good legal system and probably better off than most Muslim countries? Yes. Do I realize that it has limitations such as racism that treats people of different religions and colors differently than mainstream peoples? Yes.
I understand the limitations of what I'm getting into. I'm not going to bite into all of the propaganda about how "great" this country is when its really not all that different from previous hegemonic states and the source of its greatness has a dark history.
