Is Islam Compatible With Democracy And Human Rights. As mentioned earlier there is no regime that is put forward by Islam as an alternative against democracy. Islam is the only religion in the world based on democracy and the first to support womens rights and all human rights What a joke. In the Malaysian and Indonesian context for example uneasy co-existence between syariah and the civil courts has solicited much criticisms not only from the West but by human rights organisations as well. Democracy gives the right to the people to legalize anything the majority of voters agree upon.
Interestingly enough Socrates had an opinion similar to the Islamic one. Which does not recognizes the equality within men and women. The truth of the matter is that Islam will never achieve democracy and human rights if it insists on the application of the sharia and as long as there is no separation of church and state. While Islam is under their Koran religious believes governing their people under their Koran its the way of life. In the Malaysian and Indonesian context for example uneasy co-existence between syariah and the civil courts has solicited much criticisms not only from the West but by human rights organisations as well. Democracy gives the right to the people to legalize anything the majority of voters agree upon.
But as Muir put it.
Islam is contrary to democracy and gives more power to men. Democracy Human Rights and Islam are incompatible Gender Oppression towards Women Islam is anti-democratic and westerners are democratic and Democracy supports human rights. Shadi Hamid author of Islamic Exceptionalism argues many Muslims support a religious-dominated government but that doesnt equal violence. Some even maintain that very Islamic culture is an stumbling block and cannot permit democratic polity and modernistic society. Yet a narrative persists particularly in the West that Islam and democracy are incompatible. Women with jobs as teachers and government workers were turned into beggars overnight.
