The tricky part is whether or not a 'muslim' who doesn't follow islam is really a 'muslim'. There are westernized 'muslims' who aren't really practicing islam, yet referring to themselves as muslims. Or they claim to be progressive/modern muslims publicly while their private values and activities are genuinely islamic behind the scenes.
I agree, and I dont have a good answer. All I can say is that if someone assimilates properly and follows our values and laws, then I dont have a problem. The moment you start talking about Hijabs and so on is when I draw the line.

Westernized muslims watch radical muslims throw gays off the roof.
