Say that to a Muslim, see what they say. I disagree with the definition provided. I'd argue that a pagan was anyone whose religion accepted the existence of other gods; you don't neccessarily have to respect them or worship others gods, but recognising you've not got a monopoly on religious truth is what makes you pagan. So, no I wouldn't say a Muslim was a pagan.
