In recent years, the international order has been struggling to de-Islamize and secularize Muslim lands, as well as the minds of Muslims. This effort is being undertaken by regimes in place in many Muslim countries around the world. Unfortunately, this effort appears to be failing, as there are still strong Islamic beliefs and practices in these countries. The current international order is trying to promote secularism and a separation of religion from politics. However, this is proving difficult due to the deeply entrenched religious beliefs of many Muslims. Despite efforts by some governments to encourage more secular values, there are still significant numbers of people who adhere strongly to their faith. This makes it difficult for any government or organization to successfully implement policies that go against Islamic beliefs and practices. Furthermore, many governments in Muslim countries have been accused of using oppressive tactics against those who oppose their policies or express dissenting views on religion or politics. This has only served to further alienate those who do not support the government’s agenda and has made it even harder for them to accept secular values or ideas that contradict their faith. In addition, some governments have used Islam as a tool for political gain by manipulating religious sentiment for their own benefit. This has resulted in an increase in sectarian violence between different groups within Muslim societies, making it even more difficult for governments to promote de-Islamization and secularization without sparking further unrest or division among its citizens. Overall, while there have been some attempts at de-Islamizing and secularizing Muslim lands, they appear largely unsuccessful due to strong opposition from both within society and from certain governments themselves. Until these issues are addressed more effectively, it seems unlikely that any real progress will be made towards achieving a truly secular society in these countries anytime soon.
