Please point out what I said that you are equating to X cannot be Y?

I think you most likely mean that Islam is a community and a way of life. If believed strictly it is cult-like and influences every aspect of daily life to the point of immersion. Other religions are typically part-time or cultural aspects of peoples lives, not the defining feature of who they are.
IE Islam is not a religion because it is a community and a way of life.
Which implies that religions(X), cannot be communities and/or ways of life (Y).
Which they evidently can be.
Just responding to your devil's advocate argument, not meaning to attribute it you as your real position/claim.
