You might believe so as per your own experiences, but I believe differently.
I say no Mullah on the Planet! Is a bigger authority than me on Islam no matter what, unless I personally in my own mind consider him to be one.
Difference is probably coz you've grown up to depend on a father or a priest for religious guidance. Many (not most, not a whole lot, but "many") of us are encouraged to dig deep into religion, question beliefs, find answers, reapply and make beliefs that can be Islamically proven AND we're free to question any edict, and follow our own way of believing.
Freedom to practice religion is one thing I found good about UAE. In Pakistan people would come upto you and try to talk you into praying the "correct way". Most people in Dubai when the issue is brought up say, hey they're at least praying right... thats what matters, not some subtle differences in hand movements up n down.
Also I must deeply resent and point out that you'd knowingly consider only the bad people as Muslims and just for the sake of winning an argument completely ignore the good ones?
