#2 He is a secular muslim (i.e. doesn't believe in jihad to conquer and rule the infidels). That is why he is so viciously attacked by other muslims.

His website: American Islamic Forum for Democracy

#3 I'm sure there are more like him, but they are probably afraid to stand up and be counted.

#4 I know some, Betty, and they're not afraid to stand up if need be, including talking to other muslims about it. One young man in particular told me he thinks clowns (of any persuasion) who hate Jews and blame them for everything are loons. He's a Republican.

They who follow the dietary rules, fast during Ramadan, dress as (modest) Westerners (I've never seen the men in shorts, and the women dress as modestly as most decent Christian/Jewish women I knew when I was growing up did), and don't give a rat's as if I eat bacon or drink wine, even at the same table with them. I, in turn, make sure to point out any food that has bacon or pork in it, and any Christmastime candies or cookies with liquor in them.

But, like most of us, they spend most of their time just living their lives.
