The Arab nations are quite secular these days and becoming more secular each day. This ISIS has been enacting laws these nations have not seen for over a century.
Polaris,
I think you are succumbing to a bit of willful ignorance. KSA continues to execute people for non-violent crimes, including sorcery. The subjugation of women is well documented. Ethnic and religious minorities are prevented from taking part in governments and in some cases are denied citizenship. The KSA has a separate religious police force; I'm not quite sure how this meshes with your definition of secular.
ISIS is enforcing Sharia law, which still largely exists in this part of the world. KSA was just in the news for more beheadings so I'm a little confused by your claim that the laws being enforced by ISIS have not existed for over a century.
I think you need to take a closer look.
