AnswerYes. Some established democracies with majority Muslim populations include, for example, Indonesia, Malaysia and Lebanon. Muslim minorities also exist in most democratic countries. Of course, Muslim extremists, like Christian extremists and those of other religions, are incompatible with democracy. The ruling classes and religious elites of some Islamic countries would also find democracy repugnant.

Democracy means "rule by the people". Republic means "rule by elected officials". Since the officials in a republic are elected, it is a form of democracy. Not all democracies are republics (direct democracy is not), and not all "republics" are actually democracies ("Islamic republics", for example).

Can you explain how the political system of democracy works and how it differs from a dictatorship?

Very simple. Democracy allows, or attempts to allow, people to govern themselves and decide how they will live. Theoretically no one is above the law in a democracy. With a dictatorship people are told what to do and how to live, and they have no say in the matter. It is possible for a dictatorship to be benevolent and a democracy to be unjust, but people will often choose democracy over dictatorship, if they have a choice.
