Muslims can be good neighbors, as many Muslims in the US, UK, and elsewhere who have no interest in Sharia or terrorism show."

Anywhere Muslims have became a majority,it hasn't gone good for non-muslims.Are we talking the PC history books?

There have been periods of history where minorites (e.g., Greek Orthodox, Jews) preferred to be ruled by Muslims rather than Christians because they were treated more fairly by the Muslims. A Muslim majority is bad for cultural reasons that do not necessarily have anything to do with Islam. I have little doubt that if we managed to convert every Afghani warlord and Saudi oil baron into Christians tomorrow, I would still be unpleasant to be controlled by them because the problem transcends their religion. And I again point out that Lebanon had a Muslim and Christian split government that made it the Riviera of the Middle East until militant Muslims moved in and decided to use it as a platform to attack Israel. Iran was doing pretty well under that Shah and, for the region, Turkey is doing pretty well exactly because it insists on seperating religion from government. A Christian theocracy wouldn't be much fun, either.
