OK, one seldom can designate a faith just by the appearence of the person, but what has nationality to do with being or not a Muslim?

Among the Muslims of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, many are Islamists. Among the Muslims of Ghana and Albania, very few are.

Considering Islam is the religion practiced by Muslims it is difficult to say that some Muslims aren't Islamists. It just becomes word play at some point...

That may be true or not, but in both cases has nothing to do with the silly writer's of the article in question idea, that one can identify someone as "a Muslim without even knowing his nationality".

I mean, a national of any country - Ghana, Albania or France - can put a table cloth or a diaper on his head and will be identified as a Muslim... but how will you know he's also a French (or Albanian)?
