Can Muslims Participate in Democracy?

 

Is Democracy a rationally based system that solves the problem of how man can justly resolve his affairs? Does man know better what is good for him? Do the ‘Democratic’ leaders of the world, truly have confidence in the ‘public will’? Is Democracy truly representative? Is it able to truly prevent ruling by a privileged elite? Does it not contradict the Islamic principle of legislative soveriegnty belongs soley to God (Allah)? Can Muslims participate in such a system? 

 

Abdullah al Andalusi presents a discussion on all these questions outside the oldest founding place of Democracy- the houses of parliament.
