A Muslim is identified by their character & actions. If one is not acting accordingly they are not a Muslim regardless of what actions they have taken to become a Muslim.

The bible condones beating children, doesn't make it socially acceptable.

Nor does Islam state only one way of thinking is acceptable. The different tribes do not war with each other over their different practices, that's external conflict. Islam preaches peace and acceptance for all. Ppl that are exploiting that are not Muslim.
