The heartland of islam , by contrast , is theocratic .
相反,伊斯兰教的核心地带则是神权政治。
Throughout chinese history , there was never a theocratic national regime and all chinese religions were accustomed to putting the country 's interest first .
中国历史上从未出现过全国性的政教合一政权,中国宗教习惯以社稷为上;
The new theocratic political system instituted some conservative islamic reforms and engaged in an anti-western course .
新的神权政治系统促使一些伊斯兰保守派进行改革,并且参与到反西方的行动中来。
However , the movement has tried to reassure sceptics by describing the new party as a civil not a theocratic one .
然而,该运动试图安抚怀疑者,称他们新成立的政党是民权性质的,而不是神权性质的。
Neatly converging with the anti-democratic zeal of these malcontents is an increasingly respectable argument , among sceptical western observers of islam , which holds that the muslim faith , by its very nature , cannot be other than theocratic .
