I can’t agree with that in the case of Islam.
Islam is an ideology that sets itself above man made law substituting archaic laws and even in some cases punishments for breaking of some laws.
The rejection of democracy as the means of determining and maintaining laws to suite changes in society in combination with the way that Islam represents the world as those places in which Islam dominates and those places that it does not YET dominate all adds up to a very nasty and dangerous thing.
A thing that may suite the circumstances when Mohammed climbed his mountain and made up what he claimed to have been reveled to him, but certainly doesn’t suite our post renaissance and enlightened world.
Then throw in the absolute requirement for every Muslim to advance Islam at each and every opportunity and what you end up with is a thing that is like a cancer in more ways than its malignancy and propensity for metastasising in society.
