Christian Realism, Islamic Realism

Is there a version of Islam recognizable to most Muslims that ethically bears resemblance to the principles of Christian Realism?  Christian Realists desire societies defined by pluralism, democracy, and capitalism, not only out of positive affirmation for such ideas, but also out of recognition that such societies are the least bad in a fallen world where perfection is impossible and utopianism dangerous.  Christians and Muslims constitute nearly half the world’s population, so it is crucial to ask how an “Islamic Realism” might recognize these same attributes of a good society.  Let us examine the capacity for a democratic Islamic Realism in three dimensions:  interpretation, mosque-state separation, and in war and peace.
