| Résumé: | "The question is not whether Islam as a religion can coexist with democracy: Turkey, Pakistan and Bangladesh are all currently democratic ... The question is, whether modern politically activist Islamic revival movements - what are usually called "fundamentalist movements" - can coexist with democracy." The author considers this question in view to Algeria's first free multiparty elections, which, if not cancelled, would have brought Algeria's Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) to power - with a "constitutional coup". Within the Islamic movements are several wings of tendencies, some moderate, some radical. Until these movements make their programs clear and as long as the radical wing vocally exists, the author concludes, nervousness (of secular parties) about their real intentions is understandable though this does not mean that the reversal of democratic elections should be supported.
