If one of them goes to a club, or a girl kisses them (where a girl advancing on a man is un-Islamic) they insult each other and the guilty party attempts to deny it. It's kind of bizarre to be honest, but I guess that is the pull of religion and tribalism.
I'm sure this behaviour is quite common, it's just hard to do any real analysis on the quantity because in nature it's more of a quality study.

To be honest, most muslims I see in the streets are also the "bad seeds", but I suspect that is due to the quiet ones being less visible and the agenda of general media. The imams are shouting and cursing, but are not taken seriously in political affairs.
