Kaal posted:Agreed. It's not like Islam is unique in that regard. Protestants, Catholics, Hindus and Buddhists certainly had their own eras where their religions were simply incompatible with democracy. It's very difficult to have a representative system when you also have a special class of people that can unilaterally impose inviolable laws. There's an important difference between Islam and Christianity in this regard, though. The bible was written by dozens of people over a thousand years, and then the 2nd half of it says you don't have to follow the first half of it. It's as far from a unified document as it could be, and as a result, no one knows how to interpret the thing. This allows Christianity to change with the times. The Koran, on the other hand, is the words of one man, and it contains explicit instructions on how to live every aspect of one's life and how everything should be done. The end result is that Muslims are required for all time to live like 7th century arabs.
