I think the right thing would be to define "Muslim" in the truest sense. A lot of "Muslims" are only born that way, that is, you are recorded as one if your father was recorded as one etc. My father, an atheist, is supposedly a Muslim by his ID. Me, an agnostic, am too. A lot of people don't put religion too upfront, I believe. Personally, I'd live in any country without problems granted if they were not fundies, of any kind.

I was at a Circassian gathering back home a few days ago and it was all traditional "flirting" (called kashen) and lots of (and I mean lots of) drinking. Circassians are considered "Muslim" because they were recorded as so when they came to the Ottoman lands. Now, how Muslim is that? Where do we dwar the line?

Fundies are fundies, in any religion. I'd hate a fundie evangelist the same as I would hate a fundie Islamist. Maybe even more, cause they're so damn annoying.
