Islam and Democracy – The View of Ayaan Hirsi Ali
A question that is of considerable interest to people today has to do with the relationship between Islam and democracy. I personally (from my somewhat limited study) believe that they are incompatible.
In other words – Quranic Islam is not compatible with democracy. More specifically – it does not allow equality for women and religious freedom (especially to convert).
I recently heard a perspective from someone who was born as a Muslim. Her name is Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a writer who is already popular in the world and infamous in the Muslim world (she is an atheist now).
While this is a long interview – I think that it is worth watching if you are interested in this subject:

Of course- we both could be wrong. I really hope so!

Yes, it does. I made your link clickable, as you can see in my first post.
To do this in the future, put title
(Put in ” where I typed out quotation marks. If I’d put them in the explanation, you would be seeing this as a link, instead of seeing my explanation). If you don’t understand, google html code, and you will find plenty of help).

Nuts. I tried. My explanation still showed as a link. It’s difficult to explain what to do for that reason.
Go here for an explanation.

Thanks a lot Connie. I will try. I never figured out how that worked. Though – I haven’t tried too hard 🙂
