The issue was whether Islam was secular 1000 yrs ago..... More evasion, i was responding only to your statement Islamic thinkers like Averroes weren't secular, this era was considered the golden age of Islam. Message 30374837 . Yes, Averroes & other thinkers were secular because they embraced natural sciences,humanist philosophy. They were secular in every sense of the word, for another century would pass & they would have been tortured & executed as heretics. (Secular also has a religous meaning to, (of clergy) not subject to or bound by religious rule; not belonging to or living in a monastic or other order.) Doesn't get more secular than this: " Averroes had a greater impact on Christian Europe: he has been described as the "founding father of secular thought in Western Europe"
