We have many many of our own great scholars why would we need to refer to a non Muslim to teach us our deen?
No secularism is a kufr concept, in Islam there is no separation of the state and the deen,the governance (hukm) is for Allah.
Yes Islam allows non Muslims to live peacefully within the Islamic state and they are afforded protection of their properties etc.
Non Muslims are not obliged to pray under Islamic rule and they are not forced to accept Islam because Allah the most high states that "there is no compulsion in religion" this is for the non Muslim.
A for the Muslims then yes they are obliged to offer the five daily prayers and there is a severe punishment for those who do not, the four schools of Islamic jurisprudence are in agreement about this.
Yes drinking, gambling etc do have a negative effect on society but that is not the primary reason that we abstain from such activities,these are merely secondary reasons, the primary reason is because Allah made such actions Haram and we as Muslims submit to the will of Allah.That is also the reason we fulfill our obligations.
its really depends on how u define secularism. if it means freedom with responsibility then its not kufr.
secondly i used the word force and not insist. islam does not force anyone to offer his prayers. but it does insist u. there is a big difference bw the two.
surely Allah has told us to not get ourselves involved in drinking gambling or adultry. but u should always understand the reason behind that. Allah never tells u to do something just for the sake of it. in islam reason given for not drinkin is that its negatives are more than its positives. now if reasonin is not important then y would there be one in islam.
