FYI: only 25% of all Muslims are Arabs.
INDONESIA is the largest Muslim country in the world. Most of the other Muslims are in Africa and Asia.

Yep.

And Iran is chock full of Persians, not Arabs, too.

Still, I’m sticking with my assessment: Islam is why some folks can’t have nice things like a democracy, civil society or other non-Sharia republic and the only way Muslims can have such nice things is to the extent that they are backslidden or content to not do what Islam demandsof them (which is to impose Sharia).
