Why Islamic countries are not having democratically elected governments? Religion to do anything about it?

Answer 1

It is mainly due to lack of education among the mass. Those Islamic countries where people are educated like Turkey, Iran, Egypt and few others they have democratically elected government. But as rightly pointed out by you that the religion is responsible in keeping the women confined to home and hearth and outside home, inside the burk-ha. The clergies rule the uneducated in collusion with the local chiefs who rule over as King or Monarch. Quran is misinterpreted to perpetuate backwardness; this is the irony. This is also true with Indian Muslims who have been politically exploited by the political parties in India.

Answer 2

There are Muslim countries with Democratic governments, or non Islamic governments.....tho, maybe not like the USA or the UK. There is Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey. Most of the other Islamic countries have used religion to support a dictatorship, not a government to benefit the people, thru Islam.

Answer 3

When the Western countries faced tough civilian resistant they decided to withdraw but to continue the colonization indirectly by forcing Islamic leaders who are loyal to them but harsh on their own people.

Democracy is very young. Countries have always had kings, and even today,
