Who is a Real Muslim? – The Perils Of The Muslim Minorities In Pakistan

Raza Habib Raja [1] at Pak Tea House comments:

The biggest ‘crime’ in Pakistan is to be what I call, Non-Muslim Muslims. So if you are an Ahmedi, Shiite, and even a believer in some Sufi Saint you will invariably be called Non-Muslim by some.

That brings one to the question “Who is a Muslim?” Raja tells:

Asking this question is dangerous and trying to define a Muslim is futile and would invariably lead to exclusion of many who do not belong to the sect of the person who is asking the question.
