What would be the easiest way to have a completely secular Middle East that socially and politically resembles Western Europe by 2000-2015?

Several requirements
1. POD after 1900
2. Islamism never rises as a major political force. Sharia law is considered backward and it's study is limited to a tiny group of academic theologians/historians.
3. Mosque attendance drops sharply so that by 21th century mosques are little more than museums, reminding people of past days (basically like churches in former DDR).
4. Majority of ME countries are democratic with political parties resembling western ones. The rest are ruled by secular authocratic governments but there isn't a single theocratic state.
5. There is human rights protection comparable to Europe. Women and religious minorities enjoy equal rights. There is full religious freedom that is accepted and defended by society
