Thank you for this very reasoned comment. My point was, however, that it doesn't matter if you call the people who live by the Koran and Sunnah Muslims or anything else. What matters is the ideology by which they run their lives.

I disagree, however, that people who do not follow these religious laws but still practice Islam are irrelevant. To the contrary, they represent exactly what we most need.
