Maybe I should explain what I mean by a secular Muslim because I think we are on the same page even though it may not seem so. In my definition a secular Muslim is one that was born into the Muslim faith or converted to the faith but no longer practices or adheres to Islam. It simply is no longer an aspect of their lives despite having once been Muslim. These are Muslims that are more likely than not to be trustworthy. I have several that work for my company and I no more worry about them supporting Sharia law or jihad than my Baptist employees. If you were to ask them they would say they are Muslim but it is simply not part of their everyday lives.

This is different than the moral relativism and secularism that is invading Christianity under the various guises of tolerance, forgiveness and inclusiveness. There are a great many secular Christians (using my definition) that simply do not practice any discernible faith but still consider themselves Christian. We could argue all day long about that but that is how they would identify themselves. Likewise with secular Muslims (again, using my definition).
