Islam is not compatible with Secularism nor does it need it Secularism. Secularism is centred on Individualism while Islam is centred on Tawheed to completely different world views. However this does not mean Islam should reject technological advances and scientific investigation/discoveries. Islamic states are supposed to be structured as follows: Khalifa - legislative authority Scholars (Ulema) - legislatiors Judges - implementation of legislation. Also the Muslim world took the Western world out of their 1200 year Dark Age. It was through the Western Worlds interaction with the Muslim world over the 1200 ears that saved the West and eventually lead to the Renaissance. It's true the slow up take of the Printing Press and then only allowing the Quran to be printed for a while not other books by the Ottoman Empire and lack of militarily modernisation by the Ottoman Empire did harm the Muslim world greatly - lead to decline. The scholars were classical and independent power financed by charity endowments from society and especially wealthy Muslims and then Islamic institutions. This gave them independent thought and the ability to speak truth to power and present orginal ideas never having to please rulers. This is why they were the 'Legislative Class' with rulers being the Legislative authority as I previously mentioned. But over time as the scholars (Ulema) lost their financial independence and had to depend on the royal courts and rulers for money their independence dwindled. This lead to a stagnation in thought and confronting the situations on the ground with Islamic solutions incase the ruler didn't agree and stopped their funding. Also it stopped them talking truth to power sometimes due to them depending on the ruler and his court for money to live on. Hence a number of scholars had a trade aside from simply studying and teaching Islam so they could maintain independence. Lastly a number Muslim after seeing the militarily power/victories, large amounts of wealth and scientific advances of the West became affect by ideas not ground in their faith. Ideas such as Liberalism, Marxism, Feminism, all negatively impacted many Muslim thinkers, intellectuals and the elite underpinned by a feeling inferiority to the West. They wanted to become so much like the West they twisted, misinterpreted and reformulated much of Islam, to the point we ended up with Muslim countries run by a version of Secularism and autocratic Totalitarianism and Authoritarianism.
