State capability is not a unidimensional phenomenon. A state may be strong in some areas, but weak in others.

Islam is supposed to guide and regulate not only the spiritual lives of the believers, but their total social and political lives as well. If the differentiation of the state from society (autonomy) is an important element of stateness, can an Islamic state be autonomous? In an Islamic society, “the very idea of separation of church and state is meaningless, since there are no two entities to be separated.”

“In the case of advanced capitalist states, the autonomy of the state is employed to explain and to justify the resistance to pluralist demands. In contrast, the autonomy of the state, when applied to developing systems, is used to explain the arbitrariness of government, the apparent absence of a ruling class, the irrelevance of social structure, or even culture, to the explanation of politics.” (Binder)

State autonomy refers to the insulation of the state from societal pressures and to its freedom to make important decisions. Autonomy should not be confused with state strength or capabilities. (...) A state then is nonautonomous in the sense of being the instrument of a particular social class or group may be quite strong in terms of these capabilities. (...) It is, of course, one thing to argue that the state is an autonomous, non-class, actor. It is quite another thing to argue that it is the only actor.
