The Islamic trajectory

Christianity emerged from within the state. Islam emerged to become the state at the time of the hejira. The attitude of the Enlightenment has been aptly stated by Jeanbon Saint-Andre during the French Revolution:

Worship the Author of Nature in your own way. Jews, Christians, Mohammdans, disciples of Confucius or worshipers of the Grand Lama, your are all equal in the eyes of a free people.” The one thing necessary was that no one religion should become predominant (Aulard 1966).

While in the secularized West Islam enjoys the protection of the law and can be openly propagated, what would happen if it gained a majority status? If in any of these countries it was to emerge as a cultural, political primary entity? Would Sharia law come to have status in non-religous settings? Would a mixed public tolerate Islamic law as influential on national and state law?
Islam, like all world relgions, faces an overwhelming and decentralized foe: secularism. The secular vision of many faiths ‘worshiping freely’ so long as that worship has no bearing on the laws, mores or direction of a nation has now come to Islamic countries. It is this vision and its attendant social revolutions such as pornography, drunkeness, and impiety that revolts believers of most religions, Islam included. But it it this privitization of religion that the United States seeks to fight for across the Muslim world.
