I've read the Koran cover to cover and while I don't understand some of the concepts put forth in it, I do understand one thing: it is a religion of domination and forced conversion. That mandate saturates the Koran and I don't care what sect is practiced, if they are keeping with the letter of the message, they are prone to force conversion by any means necessary and most often with a preference toward the forcing conversion by the sword. If democracy forgoes the supposition that one has personal choice, then yeah, Islam and democracy would be compatible. But then it wouldn't be a democracy anymore. So, no, I do not believe that the two are compatible at all.
