That's why Shoghi Effendi decided to rename the local and national houses of justice in to 'spriitual assemblies'...it's a softer approach, I guess.

Where in the NT does it 1) support the establishment of a theocratic state comparable to Islamic states and 2) support anything you claim would happen?
The way Christians influence the society they are in is by being as much as possible what Christ was so that those around us see Him in us and to the extent they are willing choose to follow Him. And that means wrt to conquering evil that we are committed to what Jesus taught us about how we overcome evil. Specifically, hatred is overcome by love: that we do not resist evil but rather that we turn the other cheek, we carry the gear the extra mile, we give more than what is asked for, and we return love for hated, that we forgive those that wrong us, that we seek not to be instruments of chaos and destruction, but grace, mercy, and love.
We are not soldiers in the military sense. We are not citizens of any worldy country or kingdom. White Christian Nationalism is in fact the antithesis of the Kingdom of God.
My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
