Sharia law is an example of how democratic an Islamic state can be, but only for scholars. I have mixed feelings about this in a scenario where scholarship is restricted, and early European Christianity did this exact same thing, where only the literate were held in great authority on religion. In one sense it's democratic, and it's wise in that it allows the leadership of those who have studied such matters in depth, but when people are kept in ignorance to elevate the political power of the scholars, that's bad.
