Step one is stop calling it "Islamic society". That's secularism 101.
That said I do believe countries which are currently Islamic can be secularised. If Christianity (yknow, that religion that used to routinely burn people alive) has been reduced down to some blubbering Republicans, the same can happen to Islam.
Islamic society is similar to Christian society. Europe is a Christian continent and European countries are Christian. This doesn't mean that we live in a theocracy, it's simply the religion with higher cultural influence. Even Dawkins said himself that Britain is a Christian country in the sense that it's the most influential religion even for people who don't believe.
