How Islam Is Different From Other Religions | TIME

We want to believe we’re all basically the same and want the same things, but what if we’re not? Islam, in both theory and practice, is “exceptional” in how it relates to politics. Because of its outsize role in law and governance, Islam has been—and will continue to be—resistant to secularization.
