Successful in the eyes of westerners or muslims? Two concepts that often find themselves at the opposite end of the spectrum.
e.g. Iran lead the world pro-rata in executions and they lead the world in juvenile executions.
And what about Yassmin Abdel-Magied's claim on Q&A that Islam is the most feminist religion? I guess she'd maybe hold a country like Saudi Arabia as the most Feminist country.
Both above would be framed as successes by many muslims.
Unfortunately Islamic claims of success are for totally opposite reasons as the rest.
