Didn’t an official in Singapore say something along the lines of that they can tolerate all religions except Islam?

Actually a large minority in Singapore is Muslim and they live in harmony..because they must. Govt built housing mixes all races and religions together. They won’t allow any over concentration of one religion or group purchase in one complex. The muslim’s do feel that they lack political power, but there are lots of muslim’s in the govt.
We used to go an area near the old Mosque for fish head curry. In our fist house we could hear the call to prayer in the morning and evening.

According to the CIA Factbook, about 15% of the population is Muslim. I reckon that demonstrates a degree of tolerance.
