QUESTION;Does
ISLAMIC law require, that the moslem must obey and respect the laws of the infidel, where they live ?
"....this authority must be in accordance with God's law."

O you believe, obey God and obey the messenger and those in charge among you.
Koran 4:59
The term "those in charge among you" covers a wide variety of people.
In order to determine who is actually entitled to have authority, it would be quite logical to assert that this authority must be in accordance with God's law.
In other words, it must be a God given authority, and not an authority that is self claimed.

4- For citizens, they must obey the established authorities (e.g. the courts, the police, etc). They must obey the law of the land as long as it does not violate God's law.
Please pay attention to the 'form of words' that are being used [above].....
i.e.
Moslems,
"must obey the law of the land"
...."as long as it does not violate God's law."
Whenever moslems who live in places like Australia,
are questioned about the moslem community's respect and commitment to obey
'the laws of the land'
[i.e. Australian secular laws], the moslem will usually respond;
"Our religion mandates that moslems must obey the law of the land."
Whereas, to members of their own community, moslems will advise;
"Moslems must obey the law of the land, as long as it does not contradict our religion."
In these types of dialectic discussions with the non-moslem,
you will invariably witness the moslem forming many of his statements, using 'weasel words'.
'Weasel words' ?
e.g.
"ISLAMIC law forbids the killing of innocent people."
Nothing could be more '
unambiguous', right ?

The general rule is that a Muslim should obey those in authority as long as they do not command us to commit sins.
"Listening to and obeying the leader is an obligation as long as he does not command disobedience to Allah.
If he commands disobedience, then there is no listening to him or obedience."

n.b.
All secular regimes
"command disobedience to Allah",
because they do not explicitly command obedience to Allah !

Some Muslims are under the impression that it is permissible to violate the laws of countries that are not an Islamic state (al-Khilafa), which is totally incorrect.
Muslims must adhere to the laws of any country they live in, whether in the west or the east,
as long as the law is not in contradiction with one’s religion.

From the above examples, it is obvious that the vast majority of one’s personal religious laws can easily fit into and be accommodated by the laws of any secular democracy, and it is for this reason that many Muslims who come from religiously repressive regimes actually prefer to live in non-Muslim lands.
On the flip side of the coin, we also understand that if man-made laws theoretically commanded us to disobey the laws of God, we would not be obliged to follow such a law,...

MANY MOSLEMS WILL AFFIRM TO US, THAT;
ISLAMIC law, alone, is the most perfect law, as it comes directly from Allah."This day have I perfected your religion for you."
Koran 5.3
i.e.
All governance outside of ISLAMIC law, is 'man-made' and corrupt.
"O you believe, obey God and obey the messenger and those in charge among you."
Koran 4:59
"....[Allah] maketh none to share in his government."
Koran 18.026
"
Believers, obey Allah, and obey the Messenger! Those who disbelieve and hinder men from the Cause of Allah,
He will not pardon. Do not falter; become faint-hearted, or weak-kneed, crying for peace. You have the upper hand."
Koran 47.33-35
"
O ye who believe! Obey Allah and His Messenger, and turn not away from him when ye hear (him speak).
Nor be like those who say, "We hear," but listen not:
For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb,- those who understand not."
Koran 8:20-22
"If not Him, ye worship nothing but names which ye have named,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah hath sent down no authority:
the command is for none but Allah:...."
Koran 12.40
"Yea, to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth."
Koran 24.42
"Blessed is He Who hath revealed [IN HIS LAW!] unto His slave the Criterion (of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples.
He unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, He hath chosen no son nor hath He any partner in the Sovereignty. He hath created everything and hath meted out for it a measure."
Koran 25.1,2
