Islam can work with a democracy the same as Christianity. Yes, it is best to remove that, we learned that ourselves. Christian theocracies brought nothing good, we removed religion from our government and things started to improve. There is no reason why Islam can't mellow and and understand the problems with theocracy. Also the reason why we're not a Christian nation, we're a secular nation; many people happen to be Christian by their own choices.
