Sad truth, iirc. Religion should not play a role in government affairs, but in islamic countries (Well, it's basically the definition of an islamic country) it does. When religion and government are mixed, things get fscked up pretty fast.

In most western countries, religion doesn't have anything to say, which is good and should stay that way. For an example of a mostly-islamic country where freedom of religion actually exists, you could go to turkey, they are probably even overdoing the whole "religion should have no power in the state" thing.
