Abstract
<p>Democracy is seen as an ideal paradigm to achieve peace and justice in a particular country. Being<br />Muslim-populated country, Indonesia encounters a dilemma where democracy draws pros and cons<br />even within Islamic point of view. This paper is to decipher democracy in Islam and elaborate<br />Islamic values in the practice of democracy in Indonesia. This is a literary study focusing on Islam<br />and democracy in Indonesia. The conclusion is that the Western democracy does not fit in with<br />Indonesia whose people believe in one god. However, democracy is essentially part of Islam, which<br />is a set of values. In practice, it seems that internalization of Islamic values into practice of<br />democracy in Indonesia is inevitable, because democracy in Indonesia is in accordance with Islam.<br />Keywords: Islamic-values, democracy, Indonesia, Islam, muslim</p>
