Mr Hassan, writes from the USA:

"Islam is represented in many different ways. Some countries, such as Turkey, Egypt, and Singapore, separate between religion and government. Some didn't, such as Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan."

Singapore has never been included in the list of Muslim countries. The majority of the people there are Chinese and Buddhist.

" People always relate the behavior of these countries to Islam, which is not true. The behavior of those dictators doesn't represent Islam. It just represent their perception of Islam and many many other factors (culture, ideologies, personalities .... etc)"

A non-sequitur. The other factors (culture, ideologies, personalities .... etc) which you mention are undeniably HEAVILY influenced by Islam. So much so that in many muslim countries following any other belief is proscribed or made an extremely dangerous practice.
