You may not care about the meanings, but they still accurately describe and apply.
You, for example, are a right winger dreaming of a left wing utopia/bailout.
Similarly, the fact that you don't care about these terms probably accounts for why you misunderstand them. The middle east is not, in any lucid way, secular. The regimes of the middle east are not, in any lucid way, secular regimes. Secularism died in the middle east decades ago..and, fwiw, western secular regimes killed them for a whole host of reasons. Secularism isn't a monolith, you see, it's full of competing interests and global rivalry.
