I am familiar with Thomas Paine. But I think Islam is different from Christianity, because in a sense Jesus was not as much of a political figure. The extent of his political advice was, "Give to Caesar what is Caesars, and to God what is God's".

Islam however in varying degrees demands subordination only to God meaning that essentially the fully Islamic state can only be a theocratic dictatorship, while since Jesus did not openly say what a political system should be, a Christian state could be a Kingdom, a Republic, a Democracy, or even an Anarchy.
