If the goal of Islam is the submission to God, not the submission to the religious institution; thus following the Quran is at the top of the pyramid for a Muslim.

A Muslim who replaces the top of the pyramid with anything else is not following Islam's message; but rather following the mutations represented in the Sunni/Shiite schools.

As for contradictions in the Quran, that is a blocked path because me -and billions across 1400 years- read the book and concluded that it has no contradiction.

If there are no contradictions, can you explain why one passage clearly states that Mohammed liked to walk around with live ferrets in his drawers, while another verse - just as clearly - has Mohammed saying this is a sin?
