You seem to seek to alienate liberal Muslims by saying that they aren't true Muslims. In that you are in agreement with radical fundamentalist Muslims, but that doesn't mean you, or they, are correct.

It's not just violent jihad that they have to reject though, is it?

How about equality for women, equality for unbelievers, equality for gays, equality for Jews, rejection of capital punishment, rejection of indoctrination, rejection of domestic violence, acceptance of free speech, acceptance of scientific freedom, an open mind of what food people eat, an open mind on what consentual sex they have, and a general acceptance of a changing moral zeitgeist?

Find me a Muslim who abides by all those and I'll find you a Muslim who goes against most of the Quran. I think the most appropriate term for such a person, given that they call themselves a Muslim, is a pseudo-Muslim. :)
