My perspective is that it is the strongest line of defence against foreign propaganda trying to damage & infiltrate society - with how they export liberalism, feminism, LGBT, etc, all under the guise of "equality" and "human rights".
Countries don't naturally descend into this ideology, it's artificially engineered and forced onto them by painting it as "morally just". And now it is becoming globalised due to many reasons, some have an inferiority complex and want to imitate it, some indirectly genuinely fall victim to the propaganda, others think that it's impossible to develop without being liberal and secular (which is a false notion).
Secularism is a human ideology open to criticism and change - hence it is incredibly easy for them to ruin your society through various artifical movements. Most people are stupid and like sheep, convince them they are oppressed and they'll start social unrest.
Islam is an impenetrable shield in this sense and rejects them all very easily. And I do not consider anything as "wrong" if it is done for greater national interest.
Having common values, beliefs, culture, language is a prerequisite to a strong nation, otherwise these faultlines are easily exploited by foreign powers. Way too easily, and this is the primary reason as to why we are a highly unstable nation. China recognised this and has strict countermeasures in place. Diversity is not a strength, it's a weakness.

While your Arab brethren shake hands and trade with Modi, you want to be a loyal slave gun for hire while they do what's in their best interests.
