You're talking about seperation of Church and State, can this ever happen in the ME? Often, the Jewish and Islamic religions coincide with politics. This is why no formal constitution has been written in Israel, so as not to offend the religious parties who advocate the primacy of Torah in the political and legal realms. And in the arab world, Islam will always be an obstacle to the legitimacy of a secular State, there may be periods of quiet but bombs will eventually go off in protest against "heretic" arab regimes. I am reminded of the open opposition of the Egyptian Islamists to Mubarak.

No, im talking about the distinction between politics and religion. As for the church and the state....well that depends in what decade are you living in?
