Same thing can be said of the Sultan of Brunei. He has now turned into a very conservative Muslim and has served Shariah Law to the entire country. One could argue that he finally realized it was Islam that first allowed him onto the throne and it's the best way for him to stay on the throne. There is always another side to look at, from. I do feel the current Johore family is quite liberal but you never know when they may turn into a taliban and as they age this always becomes a possibility.
Inside info told me that such sultans only enforce sharia for the masses and appear pious in public. Behind closed doors, they party, get drunk and get laid with dozens of women, preferably white or christian. They all prefer the free-wheeling lifestyle but need sharia law to ensure their political survival.
