I believe that a lot of the literature in circulation within the White House recently has proposed the idea that if Islam is forced to coexist with even limited democracy and the wealth flowing from oil, it will eventually weaken to the point of a (relatively) secular state.

Remember- while we have no state religion, many of our laws come from the Bible. Just because laws come from Islam doesn't mean that they're wrong (necessarily).

Also, there is a fair amount of nuance in the writing of those articles which gives leeway for argument between secularists and islamists.
