It has a pretty comprehensive legal system, up to and including lawmaking built in, which I think makes Islamic countries uniquely resistant to any change towards secularity, unfortunately.
Otherwise it's not so different from the other Abrahamic religions. There is a "Love thy neighbour as yourself" strain in all of them that can make for some allies to socialists(I'm pretty sure there is a quote by a Christian socialist in Lemmygrad's pool? You know, the ones at the top of home page) and then there are others: zealots, corrupt priesthood in collision with the finance capital and so on. The latter outnumber the former in all of these religions, the way I see it.
