"Islam and the Death of Democracy by Shaykh Abdalqadir as-sufi al-Murabit

First, the alleged anti-Semitism is dealt with at great length on the page about the Murabitun because it was first raised there. There are substantial quotations from the author's writings which do not seem to bear it out. As mentioned there the author belittles Hitler at some length and there is no evidence in any of his published writings of any adulation of him.

Second, the Daniel Pipes article contains too many factual inaccuracies to be reliable. It is clearly extremely polemical.

Third, as to the death of democracy, there is a great deal of difference between announcing the death of someone or something and calling for the death of someone or something. The author has pointed out in his political works at length throughout his authorship that democracy has died and that we have moved into a totalitarian epoch, ruled not by tyrants but by finance.
