Who is a Muslim?

In today's society riddled with the so called islamic terrorism, the question arises as to who is a Muslim? There are so many who claim themselves Muslims and so many who declare them heretics.
The Ahmadis call themselves muslim but Pakistan has declared them heretics. Ismaili dawodi bohra and khoja are heretics for others. Zaydis, alawis call themselves Muslims but are heretics for others. Ithna Ashari are heretics for Salafis/Wahhabis/Saudis. Deobandis and barelvis call each other kafirs. So the question is who is a Muslim?
A Muslim is one who believes in the unity of God and does not enjoins good with evil. A Muslim is one who spreads the message of love, peace and goodness and forbids evil in his life and his surroundings. A Muslim is one who treats all humans as equal, who considers all humans as either his brothers in faith or his equal in humanity. A Muslim is one who respects everybody's right to live and right to every basic human values. A Muslim is a person who is a good human being.
