You cannot democratise Islam. Islam is a totalitarian religion. This can change. Give Muslims 200 years of voting history and you probably will be watching near naked Lebanese go go dancers in every Muslim country in the world on 9pm Saturday night TV shows. There used to be no separation of church and state in Christianity as well hundreds of years ago - look at the Christian church now. If you give Muslims the vote, most of them will vote the way they are told. In a democracy there are always many voices telling different things. If there were a blind referendum on whether or not the population should be allowed to modestly dance in public in Iran, I say it would pass in some provinces and fail (perhaps) in others, no matter what the voters "were told". Which is why islamic democracies have only Muslims. Not true again. Lebanon, Indonesia, and Malaysia all have large non-Muslim populations. Muslims vote in India, the UK and the USA.
