No, but these did so why not say it as it is? To put it plainly as to what they believe.. " I am a Muslim, my religion is Islam" that there is basically why they are called Muslim and not middle eastern or cheese eaters. Muslim is the person and so is the culture too.

There is no such thing as Muslim culture..a muslim from Turkey and a muslim from Pakistan dont share the same cultural values for # sakes.

Why choose the "muslim" characteristic over another ? The "gang" characteristic maybe ?

Ok so is the above accepted in our culture, note all are Americans of various ethnic back ground, I think scumbags will do stuff like this when they think they can get away with it it, have little to do with Race, religion or anything else a scumbag is a scumbag.

Can you not understand... Muslim is the person and Islam is the religion. Let me reword it... and so plays a big part into their cultures too.

Because we say 5 white guys did... or 5 black guys did... the word Muslim is identified as the person and not the religion so we say 5 Muslim did... I guess we could say 5 middle easterners.. kind of wordy and not what we typically use to label.
Why does it bother you?

I could be wrong but I had always thought that the muslim descriptor was one used to describe a person that practices the religion of islam.
