Northern and eastern African states are rapidly adopting Islam and it's merging with state policy. Also Malaysia and a lesser extent Indonesia. There is definitely a trend away from separating mosque-and-state. Examples of the inverse all seem to come from before the last two decades.
Time will tell if it will have a positive impact on developing nations that currently lack strong community/political structure.
Turkey is none-the-less a curious case given their economic status and political history.
