Although, you're wrong. Simply identifying yourself as Muslim does not make you one unless you believe and act accordingly. If a goat calls itself a duck, it doesn't make it one.

Thats all nice in theory. But in practice there are plenty of Muslims who don't bother with religion or even believing, but who nevertheless identify themselves as Muslims. Simply because they have a Muslim background and, I assume, because of the gigantic taboo on apostasy.

You can't claim to know what they believe. Neither can I. Only they and God know that. But if they don't have that fundamental belief, they are not Muslim, regardless of what they call themselves.
That's all off-topic. I thought I'd just get the last word before I start deleting off-topic posts
To everyone thinking any stereotypes are ever justified... how very modern and edgy and controversial hip and non-conformist of you. Even though you're just conforming with the rest of the people who claim to be non-conformist and modern and edgy and controversial and hip. Bubbles are fun places to live.
