Is Islam compatible with democracy?
Large majorities cite the equal importance of democracy and Islam to the quality of life and progress of the Muslim world. They see no contradiction between democratic values and religious principles.
Substantial majorities in nearly all nations say that if drafting a new constitution, they would guarantee freedom of speech.
Most want neither theocracy nor secular democracy but a third model in which religious principles and democratic values coexist. They want their own democratic model that draws on Islamic law as a source.
