Islam and Democracy

|

I was told that I have done disservice to Islam because Islam believes in democracy. So far as I have understood Islam, it does not advocate a democracy which would allow the majority of non-Muslims to decide the fate of Muslims. We cannot accept a system of Government in which the non-Muslims merely by numerical Majority would rule and dominate us.
