I would say somone living in say Pakistan or Saudi Arabia would adhere to the Qur'an to the exact word. As Sharia law is followed very very closely not much choice.

Now, somewhere like Indonesia or Malaysia-Both are predominantly Islamic countries but all depends again- there's more choice. It's a bit confusing to explain when it comes to Malaysia & Indonesia as there are so many cultures but the muslim faith is predonminant.

It totally depends Mr Silver. All I can say is learn about each country, read as many books as you can and possibly watch Al-jezeera.

I think i'm babbling and have had too much lunch. Let me think about this one.
