Because it acknowledges that the teachings of the Qur'an and primitive misogynistic cultures are not incompatible.what i meant is that in some cultures they just look like that it have nothing to do wether they are a muslim or not. and about applying the sharia u get a ppl with agrissive culture and say those r the ones applying sharia but in fact they r doing a lot of things together sharia,culture,opression,......if u want to know wat they r doing is islamic or not see some of the verses i posted in the begining and compare it with wat they r doing so u can know where their acts came from and plz if u met anyone like that say to him only one verse of what i said he will either punch u or he will be silent dont think he will start giving u interpretations they just do wat they hear or wat they saw their fathers do.
If the Qur'an clearly condemned the abuses we see nowadays in the countries applying the sharia law, then no islamic country would ever condone these things. But the reality is different: the sharia is an explicitly islamic set of laws which comes from a certain (and common) interpretation of the Qur'an and the hadiths.
The part in bold seems to me that, to you, islam and those cultures are not incompatible (as I said). It would seem to me that Islam tolerates the abuses in such cultures.
And if not, if they are doing unislamic things, are those people muslims according to you ?
