Well, a good Muslim would probably be able to determine at a glance whether you were a practicing Muslim. And s/he would definitely know at an instant whether I was or not. I can tell if someone is a Hasidic Jew fairly easily. I can also tell if someone is Amish or Mennonite (though there are some Mennonite sects I can't tell).
