description | This article analyses the extend of the connections between islam and the democratization processes that came together with the “arab spring”, originated by the crowds on the streets. This process, even, envisages a less happy ending than what was expected, in which Coran’s religion plays a definitive role, enemy of democracy. In face of this, the author proposes, firstly, the features that define democracy to then relate them with the nucleus of Coran’s tradition and, finally, establishes how religious movements have acted in relation to democratic principles. |

This article analyses the extend of the connections between islam and the democratization processes that came together with the “arab spring”, originated by the crowds on the streets. This process, even, envisages a less happy ending than what was expected, in which Coran’s religion plays a definitive role, enemy of democracy. In face of this, the author proposes, firstly, the features that define democracy to then relate them with the nucleus of Coran’s tradition and, finally, establishes how religious movements have acted in relation to democratic principles. Este artículo analiza el recorrido de las conexiones entre el islam y los procesos democratizadores que se aglutinaron en tono a la “primavera árabe”, originados por las multitudes en las calles. Este proceso, aún inconcluso, vislumbra un final menos feliz de lo esperado en el cual juega un rol definitorio la religión coránica, enemiga de la democracia. Frente a ello, el autor propone, en primer lugar, los rasgos que definen la democracia para luego relacionarlos con el núcleo de la tradición coránica y, finalmente, establecer cómo los movimientos religiosos han obrado en relación a los principios democráticos.
