Misuse of Ibn Rushd

How is the Ibn Rushd's discussion on the role of the mind during the Abassid Caliphate anything to do with political secularism? This appears an extreme POV imposed on this writer and should be taken out. Jk54 (talk) 14:17, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Secularism and dictatorship

At the 'Secularism and dictatorship' section, it says "Many people also associate secularism with military regimes, such as those in Turkey and Algeria." Does that hove a source? I don't think that it is encyclopaedic. Andi as someone who lives in Turkey, I can say this observation is wrong. In Turkey, military regimes are associated with forbidding secularism or laïcité that cancels many rights on freedom of religion for Muslims in the name of defending secularism.--Cfsenel (talk) 19:02, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Azerbaijan Map

Nakhchivan which is part of Azerbaijan isnt highlighted like the rest of Azerbaijan is in the map, could somebody perhaps correct this in the map. Neftchi (talk) 12:07, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What is secularism?

The defnition given in Turkey is fundamentally different from the definition given in Europe and North-America. It appears highly confusing not to describe those differences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.247.161.228 (talk) 08:23, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Iraq requires update

Under the Iraq section:

"Although members of the ruling Baath Party generally are ideologically committed to secularism, about 95 percent of Iraqis are Muslim and Islam is the officially recognized state religion."

Isn't this a few years out of date?
