islam has no problem with the democracy.the leader in this system is the choice of majority on which he rules .as far as i know the problem from islamic point of view is that woman cant be the head of the state but this is allowed in pakistani democracy

A Democracy can operate using a number of different voting systems, but essentially needs to ensure that the Government renews its mandate on a regular basis (4 to 5 years).\n\nAll people of a country must be involved in the democratic process.\n\nThe Government must be independant from the Judiciary. The courst must be free to pass judgement based around the laws of the land rather than on the political will of the Government.\n\nThe Government will need support from a non-partisan civil authority to ensure that laws are drafted correctly and constitutionally. The civil authorities also ensure that government policy is carried out.\n\nThe policing of a Democracy must be answerable to the courts as well as the civil authorities.\n\nTaxes pay for all of this.\n\nThe best or worst democracy is a subjective matter. Good or bad is not measurable in a way that allows comparison between the various systems.\n\nYou could survey different populations to take their views, but that will have problems. Bad Governments will try and influence the results and people may answer based around their view of their politicians rather than on the system itself.

Hell no, a true democracy would only lead to a Islamic Theocracy similar to Iran, we need a strongman to oppress the people and keep them in line.

I agree that there is a problem. Their agenda is to make everyone in the whole world follow Islam by choice, by force or they must face death.\nPeople would rather stick their heads in the sand and deny the problem than admit that there is a problem, however, to destroy another person or another religion means that you are no better than they.\nThere are Muslim men in North America who are trying to get a law passed so that they will have the right to kill their wife or their children if they do something that displeases them.

It seems to be that way in Turkey. Iraq had a secular parliamentary democracy until corrupt military dictators took over, and now has a secular democratic government. Egypt and Jordan are working slowly but steadily towards democracies. Afghanistan has democracy. Iranians under the evil mullahs seek democracy.\n\nAnd there are untold thousands or millions of Muslims in the USA who participate and enjoy the secular democratic republic they find here.\n\nSo, call me ignorant, but I tend to accept these facts as what they are - proof that even Muslims seek freedom and democracy, even secular democracy.

Well the Issue in Afghanistan is Islam. Islam is an intolerant religion with intolerant hateful followers. Their way or no way.

We are the most successful democracy of the world. About 700 million people of all religion with deferent regions, languages and cultures participate to elect one central government with equal right. The spirit   of democracy is always respected here and no political party can ignore the voice and views of the common people. The rise of regional political parties like RJD, Telagu Desham, National Conference, AIDMK, DMK are strongly representing their regional people within the democratic structure. Likewise BSP, RJD and other many political parties are giving voices to backward and Muslim people. Many political parties treated Muslims as vote bank and a   separate social identity was maintained for them. Maintaining separate social identity has its own repercussions also. Muslims have participated and benefited in the economic growth in the states like Maharashtra and Gujrat but are equally poor in UP and Bihar with their Hindu counterparts.

Democratic is a better option if you have people in your country who aren't Islamic.  And, pretty much every country has people who aren't Islamic.  Also, the various sects disagree on certain points of Islam, so basing your laws on a specific religion like that is going to cause a lot of friction between the sects.

Wikipedia is always a good place to start researching something.  Here's a link to debate.  There are several links off of this page to information on the different forms of debate, and parliamentary procedure.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debate

How can you compare.  Iran is not a Democracy - it is an Islamic Theocracy.\nUnder that form of Government - you have no say as to how many hours you work.

For sumguy - did you know there are more Muslims in India than Pakistan? Infact, I think it is second to Indonesia, in Muslim community.\nBut it's a fact, that India is a Hindu-dominated country and therefore there are such problems.

Wow, dude, you expect a lot. Ever heard of research?\n\nA few ideas:\n\n1. Given that it's virtually impossible to control the movements of all the people all of the time, you have to provide them with a certain degree of freedom anyway. True, if you kept someone in a box for the rest of their life, it's pretty safe to say he won't be committing any atrocities or breaking any laws. But since that in and of itself would be immoral, there has to be some degree of freedom.\n\n2. If people are allowed to make decisions about the direction of their own lives and are allowed to pursue happiness, they will usually be less likely to break laws or try to hurt others.\n\n3. An example: a child who is never allowed to make choices for himself never learns to make them and grows up to be a problem. A child who is brought up lovingly, rewarded for good choices, educated, and slowly but surely given the freedom to make its own choices usually makes much better moral choices.\n\n4. Societies with less personal freedom do not necessarily enjoy a clear moral advantage. For example, in certain areas of Pakistan (which is a conservative Muslim country), there is less promiscuity because the laws against promiscuity are so harsh and personal freedoms are so limited, especially for women. On the other hand, particularly violent crimes are often directed against women. Mukhtaran Bibi was gang-raped in a conservative Pakistani village as retribution for a crime her younger brother never committed. In fact, her brother was sexually molested by three men himself. (See link before for more info). It's not uncommon in societies with strict moral codes and corporal punishment for the weakest members of the society (women, the poor, etc...) to be the victim of oppression, crime, and torture.\n\n5. Sometimes a society that reacts too strongly against a certain behavior actually encourages it. When something is forbidden, some people will naturally find it that more compelling.\n\n6. Some people have a tendency to come down very hard when it comes to OTHER peoples' sins but not on their own. For example, although the Bible comes down way harder on divorce and remarriage than on homosexuality, most Christians openly despise homosexuals but don't criticize divorced people at all. When you couple this hypocrisy with a society that has highly repressive moral standard, the result is often violence: for example, men who may (or may not) have repressed feelings of homosexuality beating an openly gay man to death. An example of this is in Wyoming when Matthew Shepard was brutally beaten and left for dead by two homophobic men who, feeling themselves "morally superior" to a homosexual, committed a particularly vile crime. More info on Matthew Shepard below (or you can google him yourself.)\n\nWell, that's a few ideas. Hope that helps.

i salaute biharies for sacrifies they made in 1971 for sake of pakistan.But i am telling u a harsh fact about pakistani attitude toward biharies\n   Punjab accepted large number of muslims from east pakistan because they were punjabies.Pakistan had to accept 3 million afghans because their kinsmen pathans were present in Pakistan.indian muhajirs in sindh have conflict with local pathans and sindhis because they are not related to locals.same is the case with biharis,no province is ready to accept them.As for as governament is concerned it had taken few small steps in the past which were failures.\n i hope biharies get right place for living in future

you replied to your own question.  Islam can never be part of a Democratic nation.  The religion and faith do not mix.

There r number of problems actually. First, its communication & media. Pakistan lack possitive media coverage. Pakistan Army has great acheivements in UN,..in Bosnia etc, even admitted in the movie Black Hawk, but these acheivents against terrerist acts usually get no media coverage. For example Pakistan army is the largest alloy in a field war in search of Osama & his men & probably they loose m,ost lives too.... we dont usually hear that in news. In recent earth quake pakistan failed to comminicate with outer world how devastating the quake was. \n\nInstead what we hear in news r the rare cases of rapes & tortures that do happen in some remote areas as Pakistan is a huge county & with so many uneducated ppl. But where on earth rapes dont happen? \n\nIronically Pakistan itself have been victim of terrorist acts by sucide bombers and other bcos it is helping in war against terror. Usually it doesnt get a sympathetic news coverage but unsafe place. \n\nAnother problem is, bcos it is a poor country many uneducated ppl try to leave the country for finding better opportunities, these ppl some times get into wrong hands & end up representing Pakistan as such. Similarly often some terrorists have been linked to pakistan in one way or the other, in most cases maybe bcos pakistan is a bordering country to the afghans where osama used to be & might be.\n\nPakistani officials r not strong enough to handle some internal issues neither better in convincing the outer world.

No,\nBut in order for muslims to accept democracy they have to win it for tehmsleves. Also, the name must be horribly hated by now which has nothing to do with the concept. So we should change it to something like Eorigo. Or something different, just say it to your self "Democracy" it sounds like your asking to be stepped on by a large cockroache.
