Emmanuel Macron has been declared the President of France after early vote counts:
France has a new president. Emmanuel Macron – an independent centrist who has never held elected office – has won a resounding victory over far-right, nationalist Marine Le Pen in the most important French presidential race in decades, according to early vote counts by the French Interior Ministry.
In early returns, Macron had won an estimated 65 percent of the vote to Le Pen's nearly 35 percent, according to the French Interior Ministry. Le Pen has already called to congratulate Macron and conceded defeat to a gathering of her supporters in Paris.

"non-practicing Muslim" has a specific meaning - it means someone who doesn't practice Salah 5 times a day [wikipedia.org]. It means nothing else. Most Muslims are non-practicing because it is very difficult thing to observe. It is very much against Sharia.
Not getting involved in any debate - just putting some definitions out there to help. Hence posting AC.
Also, know from this, that lack of knowledge cannot be compensated by engaging in debate. Putting theory above practice got us into dark ages...
