I'm Arab and I genuinely believe Islam is a nationalist Arab supremacist political ideology. Muhammad was an Arab nationalist who United the various Arab tribes into one great empire, like Otto Von Bismarck did. At that time there wasn't such a thing called political parties, so Muhammad used an Arab nationalist political ideology under the guise of a religion.
For the first hundred years, the Ummaya was very Arab supremacist. The whole "Islam is against racism and all races are equal under Allah" thing was only introduced much later by the Persians who were butthurt they were left out as second class citizen by the Arab nationalists.
Even today, look at how Indian or Malaysian Muslims literally worship Arabs, they use Arabic in their language and teach it to their kids. The afghan and Iranian flags even have Arabic written on them.

You're delusional. Reddit historical revisionism.

It probably has some Arab centric elements to it but in my opinion its universal message is more dominant.
A message which is of course still very political in nature.

It is both, it is a way of life, Sharia is basically the Islamic version of Jewish Halakah
Islam proclaim itself as universal, and not race centric, among the very first Muslims are black (Bilal) and Persian (Salman)

Not quite, Judaism has a separation of religion and state while in Islam they are one in the same. This is a major difference in application, not just in belief.
Mohammed was an Irishman with delirium tremens.

This.
I am very skeptical of Islam's ability to secularize. To do so would require a massive reform and possibly the bloodiest period in MENA history.

The nation's can secularize but the religion itself is always grappling for political power.
The Islamic world hasn't been able to draw a clear line between religious and state authority like the Christian and Eastern world has.
Another fear is that Islam's problems will be transmitted to the rest of the world as well. A problem I think we're already seeing.
Islam can be a good thing like all religions, but the way it is currently and historically structured is cancerous.
