Incidentally, some groups here in the U.S. live autonomously, so there's precedent for it even in this country. The Amish around here don't attend the same schools as ordinary folks, don't pay the same taxes, and resolve many of their disputes using their own internal systems. On occasion they actively oppose or stymie local law enforcement when disputes with outsiders arise. They're pacifists, though, so physical violence is almost unheard of and they've no interest in imposing their views outside their own communities.

I suppose that's one of the important distinctions between Christianity and Islam: Christianity's central figure was a small-time carpenter who preached love and forgiveness. Islam's central figure was a conquering warlord, rapist, slaver, and mass murderer. It shows.
