Perhaps it would be a good idea to remind everyone that the philosophical concept behind modern western secularism was introduced to the west by Averroes (Ibn Rushd) in Muslim Spain. These ideas were spread to Judaism by his student Moses Mamonides and among Christians by St. Thomas Aquinas. Unfortunately, the Islamic World declared Averroes a heretic and burnt his books and writings, so modern day Muslims do not recognize his idea of secularism as a Muslim invention and wrongfully think of it as a Christian/ Jewish Western invention. However, the West still recognizes the debt owed to this Muslim scholar:
"Averroes advocated the principle of twofold truth, maintaining that religion has one sphere and philosophy another. Religion, he said, is for the unlettered multitude; philosophy for the chosen few. Religion teaches by signs and symbols; philosophy presents the truth itself. In the mind, therefore, of the truly enlightened, philosophy supersedes religion. But, though the philosopher sees that what is true in theology is false in philosophy, he should not on that account condemn religious instruction, because he would thereby deprive the multitude of the only means which it has of attaining a (symbolic) knowledge of the truth. "
