I have labelled the Arabs in red.
I have labelled South East Asians in blue.
I have labelled Central Asian countries in green.
I have labelled the African countries (excluding Arab Africans) as purple.
I have labelled European/West Asia countries in orange.
I have labelled South Asian countries in gold.
I have labelled Iran in pink.

According to this list the most democratic Muslim countries are:

1.) Indonesia
2.) Mali (Recently had a coup)
3.) Malaysia
4.) Bangladesh
5.) Turkey
6.) Tunisia
7.) Senegal
8.) Lebanon
9.) Palestine
10.) Pakistan
11.) Kyrgyzstan

The two South East Asian countries seem to be performing the best.

seems reasonable.

seems reasonable. Surprised to see Palestine above Pakistan given that how many people here enjoy bashing Palestinian territory.

Mali (the highest African nation) recently had a coup.. so they should drop a lot.

Pakistan is slowly evolving though.

Tunisia just got away from dictatorship and they jumped so high? Wow.

honestly, there should be 5 main democracies in Muslim world- Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Pakistan & BD.
The reason I'd rather see Pakistan higher up is, overlooking the past, presently, Pakistan does have a working elected government and relatively much better evolved as a democracy than MANY of the other countries mentioned in the top 10.

Not saying the democracy is great there, just better of the many of the other options!

good to see Bangladesh at the level of Turkey n Malayasia.

Democracy doesn't necessarily mean good-country though. Most Gulf nations are doing really well, and they're not democracies. Pakistan also had it's best times under military rulers.

 

[PakistaniandProud]

Well we can say that Mali is no longer a democratic country because of coup.. so Pakistan is top 9 now.

Of course, but it does mean more freedom

Anyone else surprised to see Kyrgyzstan so high up?

I disagree with their list and it needs to be modified:

1. Turkey
2. Malaysia
3. Indonesia
4. Iran
5. Lebanon
6. Pakistan
7. Palestine
8. Bangladesh
9. Jordan
10. Morocco
11. Egypt
12. Tunisia
13. Nigeria

The rest are authoritarian type Governments.

Always advising the worst for other Muslims while you sit in the comfort of a judea Christian democracy.

Typical Bharti troll, but a failed troll too. Try harder next time, you put your country to shame with your half-as*sed tries.

Iran at 4th? Are you serious?

Well Palestine is too high imo.. how can they have democracy if they don't even have a country, sadly?

Imo top 10

1.) Indonesia
2.) Malaysia
3.) Turkey
4.) Lebanon
5.) Pakistan
6.) Bangladesh
7.) Kyrgyzstan maybe?
8.) Tunisia?
9.) Mauritania?
10.) Nigeria?

As expected, my favourite Muslim country Indonesia ranks high. A secular, democratic and progressive country. That is how all Islamic nations should be.

The only reason why authoritarian governments like Qatar or Bahrain is doing so well is because of their oil resources and OPEC. Other Muslim nations do not have that advantage. Thus, we must be fair in comparison (some people will use this point to say democracy is bad, sitting in comfort of secular democratic and infidel kafir nations).

Another problem at this ranking is that some countries have sham democracies. Such as pakistan, the democracy is basically non-functional due to corruption and mismanagement.

 

[Roybot]

How do these countries rank in the world?

Indonesia- 60
Malaysia- 71
Bangladesh-83
Turkey-88
Tunisia-92
Lebonon-94
Palestine-99
Pakistan-105

Even the best of the Islamic world is not the great.

8.) Tunisia?
9.) Mauritania?
10.) Nigeria?

probably the best list so far (upto no6) but why is everyone ranking Lebanon so high? Why not Jordan? King Abdullah seems to be a lot more progressive in his views.

Please explain why you promote the worst of policies for Muslims here while you sit pretty in a democratic judea Christian country for yourself? Why do advise people to be more open to be more extremist, while you have chosen to live under her majesty's rule?
