Getting Islam to unite for a common cause? Sounds great on paper but that's tricky in real life. For one thing, Kazakstan and Uzbekestan are technically Islamic, but I don't doubt you're right that they would go along with Russia. Saudi Arabia could really go either way on things and the same goes for the rest of the Middle East. Only Pakistan has a strong vested interest in being on one side or the other.
Vietnam has no reason whatsoever to love China and would more likely side with India and Russia. Laos and Cambodia would tag along, no doubt. I'm not sure about Thailand and Burma (can't remember the new name for it). I don't think that China can count on Indonesia ... they'd likely be a strong candidate for neutrality. Malasya is also very tough to call.
