Give it time? They've all been there forever!
Technologically they've advanced right along with Japan. (see: free trade zone etc.)
Over this past summer I've been able to interact (and go fishing with) 2 Muslims from Malaysia, they're over here helping move lines for Texas Instruments over there. I asked them about how they deal with Fundamentalists over there, and they say they don't really do anything, yeah they're openly and devoutly religious but the religion (muslim) police handle them as they see fit and whatnot. (Note, the 2 muslims were kinda your middle of the road type people... they pray... they eat hilel (sp?) food etc. but they're not crazy... they still live life like a normal christian who goes to church on sunday etc. would) But yes, Malaysia has long had extremely devout muslim groups with crazies and whatnot and never had any huge problems with it.
As an example, their laws are far more strict than we have in the US therefore having a crime rate thats waaay below what we could ever hope for. (Sure, bring up civil rights, but then you might as well bring up Iraq again... ding!)
You're just unable to admit you're wrong.
