Actually, I can. It was called the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches, and in the Middle Ages, these two organizations ruled all aspects of European life.

Fortunately, European culture managed to escape the shackles of theocracy. Islam, you must remember, has not had anything close to a Protestant Reformation, and Age of Enlightment or a Rennaissance (all results of challenging the authority of Rome/Constantinople). Until it does, it will remain a slave to the Koran (just like Christian Europe was once a slave to either the Pope or the Patriarch).
