I should point out that right now, Turkey, Bangladesh, Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Indonesia, and Iran are all predominantly Muslim and more-or-less democracies.
Additionally, Lebanon, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, an Egypt, make a great show of
at least pretending to be democracies.
No, there's nothing incompatable about Islam and democracy. Its just an
excuse for the totalitarians.
