Not too sure about your first point. Does that mean that if i eat pork and drink alcohol, I can still call myself a Muslim? The basics of being a Muslim is not eating swine and not drinking alcohol. If you cannot even do that, then there is a question as to whether you are actually a Muslim. The OP probably was in Pakistan at the time of siging up to GS, like I was in Beverly Hills. Now I am in London, UK.
