So my point was, if we work off of the false assumption that democracy leads to modern American culture (the culture that Muslims hate), then no, "democracy" is not compatible with Islam.

However, like I said, I think it's a false assumption. An Islamic country could certainly be democratic. But just like Iran, nothing is stopping them from electing tyrants and continuing their culture.

So in sum, my point is, democracy will not change their CULTURE. Would you agree with me on this?
