Abstract: Pluralist democracy struggles to establish itself in Muslim countries. In the author’s view, this is because Islam accords central importance to community consensus as the certain source of truth, and has difficulty embracing the critical approach. What might the future hold for the Muslim world in terms of its relationship to democracy? One possible path may be offered by the mystic tradition.
