Does Islamic tradition contain the resources for another form of multiculturalism? Do Muslims redefine democracy to make it compatible with their Islamic visions? If so, how?

Note: providing quotes from the documents as evidence is essential, but, please, do not forget to add your own words and analysis, and the page numbers. Explain each reference that you make, particularly why it is relevant to the question you are answering. This is especially important in your Islam in Transition book (IT). However, it required that you use complete sentences, not fragments.
In general:
- Do not use “it seems,” “I believe”
- Do not use contractions of any kind.
- Do not use the passive voice. Instead of writing “Islam was understood by Muslims,” please write “Muslims understood Islam…”
- Do not use fragments (your sentences should be complete: subject, verb, complement).
- Avoid run-on-sentences. In other words, your sentences should not be too long! Do not repeat “and…and…and…and” or “which…, which…, which…” in the same sentence.
- No “I,” “you,” “we,” “us.”
- Do not use progressive present or past. Instead of writing “he was defending,” please write “he defended.”
- Do not use the semicolon (;). You do not know how to use it.
