The third argument highlighted by Irfan Ahmad is that instead of discussing the compatibility of Islam with democracy, we should instead discuss how the West has "de-democratized" Muslim states. It is possible that the dominant democracy was harsh towards Muslims. So why is democracy so weak in the Muslim world? This is a crucial issue due to the promotion of democracy in the Middle East. For example, the Middle East would need a benevolent promoter like the United States of America to be compatible with democracy. This is why it is better to discuss de-democratization instead. While Bernard believed that Muslim culture was the reason for the lack of democracy, Lewis disagreed. His argument is more acceptable in terms of democratization. It is the power of the West that makes the Middle East undemocratic. An example of this would be how people rebelled against the Iranian Prime Minister in 1953. Mosaddeq was the Iranian Prime Minister who was democratically elected from 1951 to 1953. Iran surrendered and abandoned democracy just to serve the national interest of the United States. United States and United Kingdom. Another classic example would be the period 1974-2005 in Bahrain, where democracy was prevented and ruined. Contrary to typical Western tradition, the opposite of dictatorship in Islam is justice and not freedom. Ahmad views this form from an anthropological point of view in which he talks about the “Jamaat-e-Islami” of India. At first they opposed democracy, but eventually they accepted it and democracy grew stronger. Abul Ala Maududi was the founder of Jamaat-e-Islami. He predicted that the future of Pakistan would consist of infidel Muslims. According to him, democracy...... middle of paper......e democracy. It may produce less ruthless dictators, but it certainly will not produce democracy. In general, unforced change is much better than sudden, forced change. Even Western democratic countries like the United States of America were once devoid of democracy. For example, they had issues with slavery and the disqualification of women. So there was neither freedom nor justice. Nevertheless, after much time and progress, democratic progress has taken place. In conclusion, democracy cannot evolve in the Islamic world if many aspects remain unchanged. However, before analyzing Islamic culture, its way of life and its past history, we must agree on an acceptable definition of “democracy”. The central issue is that there is no indisputable definition due to the significant paradoxes, insoluble doubts and contradictions it contains..
