Islamic governments are almost always autocratic, whether the king is called by that name or not. India doesn't count because it doesn't have a muslim majority or a muslim government.

Whether Islam as currently practiced today is even compatible with democracy is an open question. The kind of Islam Hirsi Ali learned as a girl, with its unquestioned right to rule every aspect of your life, is clearly not compatible.
