Althouse: "Is Islam Compatible with Democracy?"

Interesting discussion here on Ann Althouse's blog...
Althouse: "Is Islam Compatible with Democracy?": "Is Islam Compatible with Democracy?'
Last week, I mentioned that my colleague Asifa Quraishi was giving a talk on Monday called 'A Reconsideration of Presumptions: Is Islam Compatible with Democracy?' So, what's the answer? Here it is in Professor Quraishi's words:

I think yes, Islam is compatible with democracy. It is also compatible with a lot of other methods of government. There's nothing mandating or prohibiting any particular form of rule in the source texts of Islam (Quran and Hadith)."
