[quote]1. Democracies are governed in general by constitution. In an Islamic system the Quran would form the constitution. If however the majority decided to have laws contrary to the Quran. Then it cannot be considerd to be an Islamic state. Ultimately the majority have to decide whether they wish to live within Islamic bounds or not. As there is no compulsion in relegion no one should force their will on the majority. 2.'In Islamic political system choice of a ruler is based on consensus of either intellectuals or masses, where as in current democratic system choice of ruler is based on selection of majority' Democracy is based on consensus of the masses. Who exactly are the intellectuals.[/quote]
