Abstract
En el presente artículo se analizan las relaciones entre el Islam, como credo religioso, y la Democracia, en tanto que sistema de organización política. Tras un estudio de las relaciones entre Islam y política se defiende que, en contra de la opinión más extendida en Occidente, la configuración laica del Estado es la más adecuada a la doctrina islámica y que no existe un único modelo de Estado compatible con este credo. Posteriormente, se analiza el concepto de Democracia en la historia del pensamiento político islámico. En último lugar, se concluye que para el establecimiento y consolidación de regímenes auténticamente democráticos en los Estados de raíz islámica es imprescindible la participación ciudadana activa
In this work the relationships between Islam as a religious belief and Democracy, understood as system of political organization, are analyzed. Starting with a study of Islam’s links with politics, we advocate that, against the widespread view in West, secularism is the more suitable setting for the Islamic doctrine and that there is not a unique model of State compatible with this creed. Next, the concept of Democracy is analyzed along the history of the Islamic political thought. Lastly, we conclude that, for the establishment and consolidation of purely democratic regimes in Islamic-rooted countries, an active civic engagement is absolutely necessary
