Political Science

8. Is Islam compatible with democracy?

M.S. Fatos A. Kopliku – Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA

      Abstract

      Islam agrees with any form of governance, democracy or whatever it might be called, as long as the state does not interfere with every detail of social and personal life, dictating with the razor of laws and regulations the way it should be lived. Muslims would heartily agree with the American poet and philosopher Henry David Thoreau when he says that “That government is best which governs the least.”

      It is very important, especially, to Muslims that religion, the re-binding with the Divine, is not harmed or manipulated by the state intervention. Rumi says that “A house without windows is hell. The mission of religion is to open a window”, and this means that any state intervention, or of any organization for that matter, to bend religion according to its own agenda, means the narrowing of this providential window (shut completely by the communists) and a step closer towards an infernal house or space.
