Do you think that your positive experiences in Kazakhstan might have been influenced by the fact that their constitution is not based on Sharia?
Your assessment of UAE as "successful" obviously hinges on economic factors (eg reliance on oil and gas) that have enabled the establishment of some impressive facilities. Are you also saying that UAE is a success because flogging is used as a punishment for criminal offences such as adultery and premarital sex. The latter is punishable by 100 lashes. Less than 2 years ago a housemaid was sentenced to death by stoning. Apostasy in the form of abandonment or renunciation of Islam is also a crime punishable by death in the UAE.
So this is what you call "successful" whilst stating that "Australia is actually doing quite poorly". I know which country I consider the more successful !
