The naming of something doesn't make it the reality. Water in an emptied vodka bottle doesn't mean its water. Many people with Muslim names are not even within the fold of Islam - they don't even know basic stuff which is needed.

Sorry - my error there - you are right I meant water in a vodka bottle doesn't now make that bottle the drink vodka (even if the label says so)...same with the Muslims (and their using the label 'Muslim')...they have to understand what LA ILLAHA ILLALLAH means with full understanding in order to become a Muslim.
A lot of the Ummah today is engrossed in major shirk (like grave/saint worship) which exists one from the religion of Islam.

In Malaysia, we have several mosques giving Friday sermon in Tamil for the Indian Muslim communities...
There is a plan for a Chinese speaking mosque too...
There are some Mosques with english sermons. I believe there are urdu/hindi too.
It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and obedience to Allâh, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allâh, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al-Masâkîn (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salât, and gives the Zakât, and keep their word whenever they make a promise, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of persecution, hardship, and war. Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious).
