Aside from Turkey, are there some muslim countries which tried to adopt secularism ? ?

Question

I heard about a try in Iran, before the Ayatollah Revolution...I heard some former projects in Lebanon and Tunisia (even with admirers of Atatürk's achievements), but dictatures and wars have ruined them all.

Which countries already tried, and which countries want to follow the turkish model ?

What's the perspective in the future, for the " muslim world " ?

Answer 2

hi Maurice,

only industrialized countries can establish the secular/laic state.This isn't religion's problems but modernism and economic revolution(causes) forces the peoples to be laic/secular .As for me,for example,Iran will  be transformed to the laic/secular state  while they are more industrial country. However, Arab countries  haven't any chance about that but maybe 50 years later ...

Answer 3

being a muslim i am not in favour of secularism at all

secularism came in the west because the religion didn't make a lot of sense to the modern world. so, it was good idea to seperate the country from the religion and keep it for the spiritial world.

however, islam is a good balanced way of life.

the only place where it might be good to have secular state or at least balanced between all religion is lebanon, since they got so much groups and sects, and they have been suffering from their conflicts in the past.
