That's what I'm saying.

Unfortunately, the people arguing agains this don't understand the difference between "some" and "all".

And there is also the misunderstanding of what a Muslim is. I think the only fair way to determine that would be to consider whether or not a person considers themselves to be a Muslim. If they do, then they are. What other standard could we/should we use?
