Removing secular Muslim leaders seemed like a good idea at the time but it has proven disastrous. Trump is right when he says the world would have been much safer with Saddam, Kaddafi and now Assad in power. I believed exactly the opposite in 2001.

My question would be why are secular Muslim leaders like Assad and Mubarak so good at turning their Muslim and secular citizens so against them that they reach a point of rising up in armed rebellion?

Because not all citizens in their Islamic countries are secular - far away from it. And then those "devoted muslim citizens," unhappy with the lack of Islamic zeal in their leaders are joined by the mercenaries paid by "devoted Saudis." And here is your recipe for a civil war against a secular Muslim leader.
P.S. Did I mention the role of the West ( US in particular) in this scenario?

The only group in Syria that doesn't like Assad are the sunni extremists (i.e. ISIS and Al Nusra). Drudge posted a really eye opening article on the reality over there and the completely insane/incompetent policies from Obama and his state department.
