Roughly 400 million Muslims currently live in non-Arab Muslim majority states – including Turkey, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Senegal, Mali, and Albania – that have held relatively free elections for their highest political offices. These countries may not yet be full democracies, but, because they hold competitive elections, they have met a necessary condition for being a democracy.
目前大约四亿穆斯林居住在包括土耳其、印度尼西亚、孟加拉、塞内加尔、马里和阿尔巴尼亚等非阿拉伯穆斯林国家。这些国家都已经相对自由地选举出了他们的最高政治领导人。它们也许并非完全的民主政体，但是，他们举行过竞争式选举，已经满足了成为民主政体的一个必要条件。
