The point is does the religion really teach this or it just misinterpretations of Gods actual teachings created by those who wish to manipulate religion to suit their own ends.
I mean does Islam really need to ban Christian people briging a bible to Saudi Arabia or is that a law created by the Saudis which mocks the teachings of Islam. Maybe Islam is in contradiction to the modern view of basic human rights, or maybe it actually is a pioneer of that system, it all depends on ones interpretaion of the religion.

Much of Islam is based on human interpretation … What is consensus amongst the scholars is what counts … a country’s law should be respected, that means followed even if you disagree with it … If you can’t follow it - then don’t go there or stay there …

The laws are made so that Islam is placed at the pinnacle of the value structure … If a motion is proposed they will evaluate it against the principle of it being in greater favour of Islam or not … and this may or may not render different answers in different societies … What counts is the “intention” and the honesty in bringing out the answer … in which case two Islamic countries with two different results may both be correct and rewarded for their application of the Islamic law … And Allah (SWT) Knows Best.
