Actually the concepts of "religious freedom" and "islam" don't have the same presumptions.
Islam contains aspects that aren't "religion" from the western point of view. Many muslims will say Shariah law is an essential part of the religion, handed down by god. Shariah does not guarantee religious freedom, nor is it compatible with most constitutions.
So without restricting religious freedom to a smaller "common core" of religious practice, or a bigger part of the muslim world lowering the importance of shariah, there is always a conflict between islam and democracy.
