Partiti Iżlamiċi : why they can’t be democratic

Bassam Tibi

Noting Islamism’s growing appeal and strength on the ground, many

Western scholars and officials have been grasping for some way to take

an inclusionary approach toward it. In keeping with this desire, it has

become fashionable contemptuously to dismiss the idea of insisting on

clear and rigorous distinctions as “academic.” When it comes to Islam

and democracy, this deplorable fashion has been fraught with unfortunate

consequences.

Intelligent discussion of Islamism, demokrazija, and Islam requires

clear and accurate definitions. Without them, analysis will collapse into

confusion and policy making will suffer. My own view, formed after

thirty years of study and reflection regarding the matter, is that Islam and

democracy are indeed compatible, provided that certain necessary religious

reforms are made. Il-propensità li jitwettaq riformi bħal dawn huwa dak

Nara bħala nieqes fl-Iżlam politiku. L-interess dikjarat tiegħi stess—bħala Għarbija-

Teorist u prattikant tal-prodemokrazija Musulmana - huwa li jippromwovi l-istabbiliment

tad-demokrazija sekulari fl-ambitu taċ-ċivilizzazzjoni Iżlamika.

Sabiex tgħin tneħħi l-konfużjoni li ħafna drabi madwar

dan is-suġġett, Se nagħmel diversi punti bażiċi li wieħed għandu jżomm f'moħħu. L-ewwel huwa

dak, s'issa, Il-prattiċi tal-Punent vis-`a-vis l-Islam politiku kienu difettużi

għaliex ma kellhomx is-sostenn ta’ valutazzjoni b’bażi tajba.

Sakemm ma tintervjenix ix-xorti għomja, ebda politika ma tista' tkun aħjar mill-valutazzjoni

li fuqha hija bbażata. Valutazzjoni xierqa hija l-bidu ta '

kull għerf prattiku.
