I can see the two as completely compatable.
Democracy is ‘Mob rule’.....

Democracy bows to popular opinion.

Islamic law never changes. It is implemenation of Mohammed’s law. One man.

If the transition began when Marsiglio of Padua published Defensor pacis in the year 1324, it took another six centuries for the Church fully to reconcile itself to democracy.

I don't see Islam being around in six centuries. It's too empty and so lacking in God that it'll implode upon itself. I predict that I'll see it on the ash heap of history in my lifetime and the grandchildren of its most violent practictioners bowing down and proclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord. Before you say I'm too "pie in the sky", consider:

-Ronald Reagan predicted that the Soviet Union would be on the ash heap of history, at a time when it looked the strongest.

-According to a Muslim imam, there's 6 million Arab Muslims converting to Christianity annually.

I wonder if Islamicists see democracy as good when it replaces a secular government with a Islamic one (Gaza, recently, Algeria, I think, in the 1980s). And only when it gives them power. But if people decide they don’t like Islamic fundamentalism anymore, they don’t get a vote anymore (Iran).
