On the whole most Muslim countries are not democracies as defined by the western European countries. However, Indonesia is the world's largest country with a Muslim majority and the country has been a democracy since 1999, and so is Malaysia. Bangladesh, Turkey, Lebanon, Bosnia, Albania and the Palestinian Territories are classified by Democracy Index as slightly weaker democracies and many retain strong vestiges of corruption, nepotism, and oligarchies. Iraq, Pakistan and the small countries of Qatar and Bahrain are in the limbo between both worlds. The Arab Spring, which has toppled regimes in Tunisia, Egypt and most recently Libya, has opened up opportunities for democracy.

How did the internet strengthen democracy?
I wouldn't say that internet strengthens democracy so much as it is a sign of democracy. In free countries, the Internet is open whereas countries that do not have a democratic government, such as China and many muslim countries, the Internet is blocked or monitored. The reason for this is that the Internet symbolizes freedom - freedom of information, freedom to write and say what you want, freedom to talk to whomever you want...etc.

Turkey, Albania, Tunisia, Algeria... infact many so called countries where the majority is of Muslims, they suffer from their religious practice being banned. Yes, Muslims living in Muslim majority countries.
