That strikes me as interesting. Islam seems to be one of the few
religions I know of where, to be a muslim, you have to be a practicing
Muslim.
For example, I consider myself to be Catholic, though I rarely attend
Mass anymore. However I don't know anybody who considers themselves
Muslim who doesn't practice the Islamic faith.
DOes anybody else see this?
