Is Islam compatible with democracy?

Absolutely not! Islam is still stuck in the 7th century. Practicing barbarism! It can never mix with our Western values. NEVER!

Islam is not even compatible with religion. It’s a violent intolerant political system on global jihad to enslave and slaughter the world. It’s incompatible with democracy and decency.

The Arab spring is telling. When the people got the right to express their political Will, they chose the Muslim brotherhood? Submission – submission – submission. Submission is undemocratic.

The question of compatibility between Islam and democracy depends on how both concepts are understood and implemented. In many predominantly Muslim countries, democratic principles coexist with Islamic values, showing that faith and governance can align when personal freedoms, human rights, and rule of law are respected. For example, nations like Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority country, and others have adopted democratic systems. However, in cases where extremist interpretations of Islam dominate, democracy and individual freedoms are suppressed. It's essential to differentiate between Islam as a faith, which promotes justice and community, and the misuse of religion by authoritarian regimes or extremist groups. Compatibility ultimately depends on interpretation and application, not the religion itself.

No, it is not. It appeared to be in Türkiye for some decades after Atatürk’s death, but that was only because the then staunchly Kemalist Turkish Army was prepared 24/7 to step in and restore secularism should it be necessary, and the Islamists knew it.

La sharia

islam is a sadistict political ideoloyg that is compatable with no society hence why the islamic workd is such a shitshow, and it won't matter if it is a rich shitshow or a poor one.

No , we all have to submit or pay up or die, read Quran

Fantastic speech , @benhabib6 🫡👌💫

Absolutely not.

Islam is a State itself, why do it care for any other approach, like democracy?

Promoters of Islam in the West are all pedophiles.

Is any one listening to him???Look at the guys around him. One is busy with his mobile. The others look blank 😡😡

Islam is not compatible with western values

Democracy=Keep religious garbage out.

Any religion is no more than brainwashing. However, Islam operates much below any other religion, at such low level that it cannot be countered without getting muddy and dirty and if you do that you will be quickly branded Islamophobe.

No. Islam is only compatible with Islam.

سعودیہ کے جدید ہونے کیبعد باقی تمام دنیا اسلام بھائ کے انگلی کررہی ہے🤔

No. It is nazism.

It's incompatible with humanity.

Absolutely well said. there is need for Extensive investigation on this and take appropriate action.

Yes! Talk and debate more until you'll be erased in your own land...

Liberal democracies allow freedom of Religion. Which is fine as long as each Religion plays by the rules ie anyone can criticise the Religion however they chose. So what should be the punishment for those who refuse to accept this?

No, it is not. It is a heresy thst should not be allowed to enter anywhere!

Good joke

What a mockery this university debates.

Let's sink in, @ImtiazMadmood 1. Ben Habib is BRITISH and has any right to express his opinion on the British public life. He also has enough information to say what he says. Unlike people who might not be from Leicester, England. 2. There is zero extremism in his speech 👇
