Unless being secular is what you're supposed to be as per Islam.
What do you think secularism means? Tell it to me in a paragraph or two.
Long debate , as per my own experience with spending a big chunk of my life in "Supposed Truly Secular" states , Secularism is a mask which crumbles time and again , repainted and it crumbles again.
Secularism is a western idea , a direct product of Church's brutal rule over people , forced taxes , concentration of judicial , social , economical structure in the Church , torture centers run by the Church in spain and all over EU.
Hence in my personal view Secularism was not a product people wanted to have but they had to have it out of desperation. I do not support Secularism for Pakistan because we have had no equivalent of what Christians had in terms of Mosque rule , something that does not exist.
Islam offers a parallel civic and governance structure without landing too much power in the laps of clergy. Another complaint i have is that many muslims don't understand and look towards S.Arabia and Iran as a model for an Islamic state which in my view is wrong.
S.A is a Kingdom and the idea of Kingdom was something Islam rejected since its inception so S.A is not model for an Islamic state , so isn't Iran.
Another argument i have is the example of Turkyie which after 100 years of Secularism is moving towards more Islamic way of life as people have chosen the moderate AKP to rule them for 15 years now , the strongest Govt in Turkish history.
We want to be like Turkey , modern , secular - Turkey wants to be something else because they have realized that secularism in an Islamic country is not sustainable.Tunis has been a secular country for ages , guess who people voted for post revolution ?
Instead of rubbing our heels on the stones to make Pakistan secular , we have an opportunity to make it a successful , democratic , Islamic welfare state first while we continue to revive our own values , our own customs and a system of governance which suits us.
