I have met great people that do live their lives in accordance with Allah. When I met the man from Egypt I had already been studying the Koran for two years so he was not my motivation to change religions. The Egyptian man hardly never prayed. When I visited him for two months in Egypt I had to ask him and wake him in the mornings to pray with me or he would not have done it. When he came here, towards the end of our relationship he told me basically it did not matter to do wrong because being Muslim he would get into paradise anyway. I always wondered if that was really true, then what is the use in doing anything right to begin with.
