I think you misinterpreted my "yeah sure". I meant it as an "yes, of course you are right, but" and not "you are an idiot" kind of "yeah sure". Sorry for that, I'll be clearer next time .

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.

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.
All I am saying is that I can't judge one person based on the opinion of another person, especially when dealing with something as personal and multi-interpretable as religion.
