Port Orchard, WA: How do American Muslims reconcile the demands of the Koran, which very often are in direct opposition to democracy, and the concept of free-will and inalienable rights?
And do American Muslims recognize the success and benefits they derive from Democracy and the associated Judeo-Christian ethics which govern our system of justice and rule-of-law?
Lisa Miller: moderate muslims would say that the qur'an is not in opposition to democracy, but, in fact, demands it. over and over in my conversations with moderate muslims over the past few weeks, people emphasized the qur'anic importance of justice and community.
