Since some of the societies that embrace Islam as their religion, do other Muslims believe these societies are not truly Muslim due to the fact that their culture and traditions pervert the teachings of Islam? (This is a generalized question -- whether you want to believe it or not, some Islamic countries DO NOT treat their women well. Many of you say the Qur'an says you are to hold women in high esteem but places like Saudi Arabia clearly do not. )
For instance, in Christianity, many Christians believe that some Christian denominations aren't truly Christian because some of their formalism goes against scriptures. Do Muslims believe the same of the different Muslim sects? Ex. Arab Muslims vs Indonesian Muslims or Muslims from Sumatra etc.
Serious answers please! IF you can't answer in an adult manner -- just say thanks for the two points and move on.
