If I were to go by this list, then none of the Muslims I've encountered in my life would be "good" Muslims. They have great respect for the other people of the Book, they question the more radical beliefs of their brethren, and they do their best to get along with everyone, even of they don't always succeed.

My thoughts on the above list in general? What a load of codswallop.
