OK, so why isn't Tunisia a hell hole, or Morocco really, or Malaysia, or Bahrain, or to a lessor extent Indonesia (it is a bit of a hell hole for other reasons)? Your model needs to accommodate exceptions, or it must be viewed as flawed.

Come to think of it, I haven't heard much about Islamic jihadism etc. in Bangledesh either.

They're getting there, if they don't manage to fight off their own fundies. Another muslim country on the slope.

Morocco is led by a king, I think, who is as much a flake as Gadaffi even if not into terrorism. What Morocco will be a year or two down the road is really anyones guess, but any change will probably not be for the better. It may be significant that Morocco recently have show signs of some very lowlevel beliggerence towards Spain.

Anyway, of course there are exceptions - but I think you'll find that the exceptions tend to be shortlived and unstable and that the sheer aggression, hatred and delusions of Islam forms the baseline of the religion.
