Some members of the "ummah" are bordering on frank shirk (invoking beings and things other than God). Those obsessed with authenticity also seem to suffer from epistemological polytheism, admitting and insisting on a lot more than God's word in discerning zher will). To me, taslīm (considering everyone a believer) looks equally undesirable as takfīr (calling others disbelievers). What kind of a setting would make the question of whether someone is a believer, disbeliever, or unbeliever irrelevant? A secular state – of the kind that ensures freedom of religion for all, not the kind that restricts religion.
