We don't equate "secular" with "anti-Islam".
We equate secularism - an ideology of kufr - with "anti-Islam"

though as many indian ulema have stated, in a country rooted in religious prejudice such as india, secularism provides protection to Muslims as the constitution does not have religious prejudices.
secularists make the grand mistake of applying the same principle to islam in muslim majority countries. it is borne out of their belief that islam does not guide us in politics (and by extension in finance, education, military etc) but that its a personal religion. like the atheists they put all religions in one box, though they don't quit practicing it at a personal private level. they see shariah as evil (naudhubillah), distorted by 'mullahs' etc.

while the reality is whatever good there is in western governance had already been coded in shariah law 1400 years ago. the westerners, using various methods, reached many same conclusions as shariah (which is also proof of islam being the religion of nature) during the course of the 1400 years. yet the reason for their current decline in many areas is because they did not adopt full shariah. and now our uneducated secular lot undermine shariah with the strawman rhetoric of 'its distorted by mullahs' when in fact what they are saying is 'we don't like it'.
it is a completely illogical argument.
