Let me double check what you are asking... You have a living community
of Muslims where everyone else is having congregational prayers in the
direction of Mecca. But this one person thinks thats a stupid idea and
doesn't want to pray in the direction of Mecca and instead wants to
pray in the direction of Graceland (I guess they really like Elvis or
something). And you are asking if this person should be considered a
Muslim?
