People need to learn and to acknowledge that Islam and democracy cannot easily co-exist.  We need only look to events in Turkey over the last 10 years to learn this important lesson.  President Erdogan has been riding his "democratic train" for years in order to gradually change the Turkish government system to what will be a dictatorship very soon.  The referendum result is not legitimate given the voting irregularities and unfair campaigning that occurred.  And Turkey now has the highest number of jailed journalists in the world.  Journalists are a required element of any democratic country.  I am sure that Ataturk is rolling over in his grave.

We also need to remember that Adolf Hitler also used the democracy mechanism to establish himself as absolute leader of Germany in the 1930's, and we know how that ended.
