I think that you're confusing Indonesia and Turkey. They clearly live under a Muslim government - maybe not theocratic, but certainly not Christian. I'm trying to find a country where Muslims are 15% or more of the population, but they live under a government of another religion.
As to the second question. I don't believe that there are any (certainly not many) Kuwaiti citizens who are non-Muslim - and yes, when they have enough money sometimes they can tolerate some infidels (although that doesn't seem to apply to the Saudis). I show Jordan as 6% Christian, and to me honest, I cannot remember an incident of civil strife - so you got me on that. I'm sure we both could name many, many, similar countries where there are big-time problems with non-Muslims (Egypt being the latest).

India ~ they have many beau-coup Moslems ~ certainly as much as 15% of the population.
Any Moslem who disagrees that life is beautiful in India is, of course, under a permanent invitation to leave the country.
The Hindus have been known to kill Moslems who disturbed the Hindu tranquility, or as a warning to others, or for no reason at all.
