Its because of secularism that you're able to live in the west and have freedom of religion.

Just keeping things in perspective.

Colonel, that isn't so. For example, the Islamic Caliphate wasn't secular, yet it let Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims live and have freedom of religion within the Caliphate. In modern times, Iran and Saudi Arabia, two non-secular countries, let non-Muslims live, work or visit (as tourists) in their countries. So, this has nothing to do with secularism. The primary reasons why Muslims are let to live in the West is, cheap labor and attracting brains. As for freedom of religion, religion has little significance in the West as most of its people are atheists/deists, and a minority of Muslims worshiping there poses no risk to them.

What works for one nation may not necessarily work for others. Secularism may work for one society but fail in others. It's up to the people and their beliefs.

I dont understand why Al-Shabaab think it their duty to destroy graves! Sufis have always been around and have contributed greatly to the spread of Islam.

Why do they behead non-believers?

Politics and Faith are as compatible as a Rat and a Cat in the sage closed room.

Are you saying Sufis existed during the time of the prophet (salalaahu calayhi wasalam) and Sahaba?

Using extremists to make your case is totally disingenous. Both theocrats and secularists are capable of abusing their authority. Banning women from higher education because they choose to wear headscarf in Turkey is a case of secularism on steroids. Reconciling the two ideologies is key to a harmonious politics. Is it possible? I don't know. Regardless of who's in power, someone will always be unhappy. Majority rule has to be applied.

[blitzkrieg]

Yes.
