RE:Democracy and Islam
by Sameer Bhagwat on Nov 05, 2007 02:36 AM

I said wherever Muslims are in a majority, really doesn't seem to matter whether its a secular country like turkey or has significant minorities like Malaysia. If majority of population practises Islam then goodbye to democracy. Majority of Indians are Hindu that is why Hinduism is compatible with democracy. Nepal is a special case where democracy failed due to a lunatic king and chinese interference, but you can't use that excuse for Muslim countries as there can be one or two special cases not 50 !
