well
this is a tricky question
But I'll be honest.
as long as he is worship Allah and doing the practice of Islam he is a Muslim but not a believer.
what's the difference here is to be a muslim all you need is to say you believe in Allah and in mohammed as his prophet but to be a believer is to have this faith in your heart to act according to Islam to do everything out of love.
Islam is about high morals and to treat people kind as long as they don't fight you.
about the member you are mentioned i think he meant no harm he just didn't understand the verse.
but to be honest.any one thinks that Islam asked us to kill non believers he has something wrong in his faith or he is misguided.
more to add,not all Muslims read quran or have good knowledge about Islam.some of them and that's really sad are misguided by some false media shows.
but trust me when i tell you that we all as Muslims in majority are just human beings who wants to live in peace.
but.we feel the injustice.we feel that people targeting our faith and our life.
i'll be more honest and tell you what's going on in the middle east.
we always hear American administration talks about freedom and democracy yet they never helps us to have them.
they are leaving those Arabian regimes-that killing many people daily and torture and imprison thousands of people- govern us.they also support them like they do with Saudi Arabia.
and why?
because of oil and because they are doing what they ordered to do?
people hate this policy that has two faces.
American administration makes a monster out of Islam like it's the only danger out there and it went into two wars saying they are for freedom and against terrorism but till this moment they haven't caught Ben laden,they haven't stopped terrorists.
and they never will.the reason of terrorism is poverty and injustice.
we don't believe America and we don't think it has good intentions cause they are killing innocent people in Iraq for no reason.
Before the invasion we never saw any terrorist in Iraq.now every town there are thousands and no one want USA to leave.
the radicals say it's an opportunity to kill as many as they can from The Americans.
Israel likes it that way cause USA fighting its war.
Arabian regimes likes too cause as long as USA has problems in Iraq she will never give a dam about democracy in Arabian region.
so every one benefits from the war except the Arabian people and the Americans.
only the people who suffered.Arabians suffers from injustice and the daily killings and the Americans see every day their sons killed and their economy collapses in order to what?
in order to fight a ghost and to chase a mirage.
he is a Muslim by name , he doesn't know anything about Islam .
WHY I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT?
it's the right and the easiest way to describe it
