<<<Despite the changing face of Islam, free elections occur and democratic governments still exist in S.E. Asia today.>>

Can you name some democratic Moslem governments?

Most of those I've known & liked of the Moslem faith were American(for many generations) or Indian all moderate. Those I met from the M.E. countries raised by oil money - were all (to put it bluntly & honestly)pricks! It now seems that many of the moderate Moslems are being forced into the radical camp - more by that camp than by the west.

"At the time I was in S.E. Asia, no Moslem woman was stoned to death for adultery."

I hope that is not a complement. I hope that being stoned to death for adultery is not a standard by which to judge world civilizations.
