There is a huge perception issue in the world confusing the core of Islamic faith, and the customs some Muslim communities adopt. This perception issue is not exclusive to non-Muslims. So, I wrote this brief-guidebook in the hopes of helping anyone who has trouble discerning this difference. Whether you were born a Muslim, you converted, you're from another faith, or whether you're completely irreligious. This is a short and simple guidebook for Muslims, Non-Muslims, the Casually Curious and the Potential Converts alike, to help you distinguish between the culture many Muslims live by, and the true principles of Islam, without which one cannot be Muslim. This brief guidebook draws a line in the sand between Islamic principles, and "apparent" Muslim social evolution.
