Islam is an extremely broad ideology, with infinite variants from person to person.
It is far more narrow than Christianity, and even the different sects don't disagree on the basics, including Sharia law.
Most of them seem pretty lazy in their religious beliefs like most Christians. I'd imagine the % of Muslims that pray to Mecca 5 times a day is similar as how many Christians go to church every Sunday. Most Christians don't follow the Bible very closely in their day-to-day lives, and most Muslims don't follow the Koran very closely. And like Christians, a lot of Muslims don't believe in the crazy stuff in their holy book either. Ya there's dedicated Muslims just like there's dedicated Christians. Most non-Muslims who talk about Islam or Muslims don't even know what the hell they're talking about beyond what they read in the news.
You are making the same mistake so many other western people make in assuming that because you have an ingrained belief in a secular society that others do too. Because you don't take religion seriously, then neither do others. The biggest clue of how wrong you are is that the number of Muslim women in Canada who wear the hijab or some other religious garment every single day of their lives everywhere they go has risen to over 60%. I put it to you that logically, if Muslims were as lackadaisical and unobservant as secular western Christians that would not be the case.
