Translator,
You and OneShot appear to be 2 examples of:
"Those who don’t have it (democracy) sadly can’t even dream of what it really represents, in one’s life!"
Democracy, among many many many other things, is not only about free elections and its not only about giving all the same opportunity upon birth to be leader of a nation, it is essentially about having the possibility to think and say what you want, without having the fear for being chased and locked up!
Islam doesn't allow that, one can never dare to think or ask out of its box. Most people, who grow in this sect, are programmed to police and exercise control and revenge to protect the interests of this ideology (see just what is happening now in Afghanistan, as an example out of so many). No humor, no criticism, no forgiveness, only blindly comply with its imposed rules with no space for discussion, progress or evolution... In this scenario, democracy is NOT possible.
It requires a certain degree of civilization, not yet achieved in certain cultures due to the holding back of religious imposed pressure.
I leave you with some links where you and OneShot, may learn a few things:
