Again some dishonest apologetic from you, no surprise : he didn't "compare" himself to the prophet (s). That means everything and nothing. You're inferring and projecting here about his "messiah complex". If a politician talks of the prophet (s), he's into a "messiah complex" ? What does that even mean ? Has he EXPLICITLY said that he's a new prophet or the reincarnation of the prophet (s) ? Otherwise, what you're talking is pure, biased rhetoric void.
On the other hand, dear Rana has EXPLICITLY downgraded a fard in the name of Nawaz Sharif. How can you even compare the two ? Do you think that your afterlife will be played on your PP posting history pandering to Indians/defense of convicted criminals ?
And again you remain willfully ignorant of his example : he didn't talk of the companions about the "electables", but of the Quraysh of Mecca, who, minus few figures like ibn Khatal who were executed for high treason (collecting taxes from Muslims, then joining the pagans to fight them), were sparred, and integrated into the Islamic community, their seeds later giving on the Umayyad dynasty - in fact, if you read Shi'a historiography, they say that the Muawiyah/Yazid were all hypocrites, overtly Muslims but in reality continuing the jahilya mindset of Abu Sufyan/Hind, who were the staunchest of opponents to the prophet (s).
Imran Khan says nothing else : like the prophet (s) - he's not "comparing" himself to him, but "emulating" him, like you know, we all should - he won't destroy the whole political system, for the simple reason that it's impossible, but digest what's possible in order to bring his own system. As Imran Khan also says, you can't bring politicians from Europe, you're BOUND to deal with morally unstable individuals, "electables", because the masses apparently can't vote without them. But if the head of the party is free of financial corruption, at least these "electables" will follow suit - the same way the Quraysh, even if they or their children might be sincere or not (that's Shi'a historiography as well as trends of modern Islamist thought ; see Qutb, Mawdudi, ...), they never abandoned Islam, and in fact spread it.
You really have to be a blind Noora to not see really, so simple it is.
