Because the Pilgrim Fathers suffered religious persecution by the Established Church and fled the Old World to escape to the New World because of it, the desire to avoid the same unpleasantness in their adopted country was the reason for this rule.  

But that was all it meant: there would be no Church of America ie no established church being the State Church to persecute or marginalise anyone who was not of it.  

Islam does not have this separation because the idea that law should reflect the religious morality of the land is obvious, logical and simple. Islam did not have the same turbulent history of religious schism as Christianity. All who fell to Muslim invaders simply had to obey Islamic law while Christians were always asking themselves whether they really really really believed if Christ was also God because if you didn't believe Christ was also God you weren't Christian and only Christians go to heaven.
