Secularism is the political philosophy that religion and the government should be separate. Secularism operates outside of the various religions that may be in a constituent country, such as Islam.
Secularism in the Islamic World came about as a direct result of European colonialism and political and economic pressure from Europe. Probably the greatest success of secularism in the Islamic World was the rise of the Young Turks and Ataturkism.
Secularism is antithetical to Islam. The religion teaches strict adherence to the teachings of the Quran. There can be no disagreement, one size fits all. Consequently, true secularism and true Islam cannot co-exist.

Islam is a religion, not a country, so it cannot be classified as secular or non-secular. However, various countries with predominantly Muslim populations exhibit different degrees of secularism. Some, like Turkey, have a secular government structure despite their Islamic heritage, while others, such as Saudi Arabia, incorporate Islamic law into their legal system. Therefore, the relationship between Islam and secularism varies widely across different nations.

No. Secularism disbelieves in all religion's gods.
Secularism was not created, it existed long before theism.
secularism means showing due respect to all religion....
