When the Islamic world has had that millennium of internal slaughter, it might become as fed up with religion as the West became. But I suspect it'll take a millennium of murderous mayhem internally, before the Islamic world decides to embrace secularism.
I think the more telling thing is that whilst Islam does have its different sects which have variously attempted to murder and oppress each other throughout history, the religion hasn't experienced the sort of challenge to the religious leaders which Christianty experienced through Protestantism.
