Faraz.. its not our prejudice,,. that makes a non muslim in Pakistan to talk like a muslim, its just how one is raised in a society. I am sure you will be perfectly fine with a muslim in the west (for that matter even at home) to greet using the words 'Hi' and 'Good morning' as opposed to 'asalm u aliakum'. It would seem strange to me to go to Brit manager and wish him with an 'asalam u aliakum,.. ofcourse that does not mean I am hiding my identity or converting to another relegion.
The thing about a lot of christian names that sound like muslim name (mostly persian, sanskrit and urdu) is of the fact that a lot of Christians in Pakistan today are converts from muslims and hindus. Likewise you will usually find christians in India with Hindu like (Sanskrit) names.
"Allah does not change the state of people unless they change what is within themselves" Quran 1311
