Quote:Although secular does carry the meaning of 'that which is wordly', it relates to seperation of wordly and political matters, hence the ideology of secularism is that which seperates between Church and State. Islam has no such concept of wordly. So either way, whichever specific definition you choose, Islam is anything but secular. In Islam, ALL matters are spiritual, there is no wordly.
secular is not just a political/religion seperation.
There are MANY things that are not (or should not be) religious. eg cars, football games, toys, books etc etc etc.
So there are some people who are religious and some who are not.
A secular state says "that's ok. Religion is a voluntary thing."
An islam state does not say that, it says "Everyone is a muslim, this is how we eat, live, breathe, fart and pick our noses."
Can you see how every nonmuslim is repulses and disgusted at that idea?
That's why christians want a secular democratic nation, cause we believe any belief is of free choice.
Whereas that is NOT any muslims goal.
Whuch is why the lovers of freedom are strongly opposed to muslims.
