Of course someone who does not follow Islamic guidelines is not a Muslim

I have given you the requirements for someones shahada to be acceptable. As these people were forced at gun point, their shahada's were not Islamicly valid and this is a stupid debate. The fact that you say that you know for a FACT that their shahada's were real hardly has any substance to it whatsoever. Its like me saying I know for a FACT that you are wearing a green t shirt. You provide no evidence, what your saying goes against the evidence I have provided, and its unlikely that an islamophobe has a lot of muslim friends to ask as to whether they consider these people to be muslim converts.

this is a pointless discussion. Sorry
