Optimists might point to India, for example, which has the second largest population of Muslims in the world, but which has maintained the highest standards of democratic freedom of any country in the Third World.

WTF??? India was torn in two by a vicious civil war and was forced to create the islamic state of Pakistan (which it later fought three wars with) to escape the civil war...

Some 60 years ago... that doesn't deny that India:

1) - "has the second largest population of Muslims in the world", and

2) - (arguably) "has maintained the highest standards of democratic freedom of any country in the Third World"
