Democrats but not plural
A first consideration is that the difficulties of rooting of economic liberalism are parallel to the difficulties of rooting of political liberalism (ie a pluralist democracy centered on the Parliament).
1. Islam tends to be democratic in the sense that is alien to the hierarchical and recognizes no real authority over the Muslim community (umma) and, ultimately, the Koran, whose interpretation is ultimately an individual.
2. But it is not democratic in the sense that often gives this word in the West, because it tends to be non-Muslim pluralist, that is a little tolerant of those who think differently.
3. You also tend antiparliamentary, because the majority tends to delegitimize the minorities and the minorities not to submit to the majority.
4. In the Muslim world there are a variety of forms of government (monarchies and parliamentary, presidential and parliamentary republics), but where more or less degree, occurs usually a violent tendency. Even when governments are moderate and have broad consensus, are usually threatened by dissidents ready to use weapons. Political authorities, however, came to power, must therefore always be prudent and guard against terrorist attacks, attempts to insurrection or coup d'etats.
