Re: Getting rid of seculars
You're right and this is one big reason why muslim world is in the gutter right now.
Hardly, considering much of the Muslim world was run by secular regimes. Islamism didn't evolve into an actual poltical force until the 70's. They didn't have any real impact until the 80's. By then, the failed socialist policies of most secular regimes in the Muslim world began to fuel Islamism even more.
People falsely suggest that it was the appearance of Islamism that ushered in a demise to the seeming "prosperity" of the 60's...the assertion is blatantly false.
