Democratic parties that espouse theocracy.

DP: Al, I am aware of the makeup and attitude of Christian Democratic parties in
such countries as Germany. If I am reading you correctly above, you are saying
that the movement is pluralistic, excepting it is founded in Christian public 
philosophy;
and that a party could be founded with a theocratic name, as long as it has 
nothing
to do with theocracy. Keeping in mind that one does not have to be, for
example, a Muslim to espouse ideals grounded in Islamic public philosophy, would
you support a party being named the Islamic Democratic Party? If not, why not?
