Ooops! Am sorry for not having been articulate enough to reflect my thoughts onto words so clearly that it has lead to you the conclusion that you have reached.
And even the examples I took were actually meant to be the more positive parts of changing some of the practices - When I refered to Islamic banking/insurance, I see it more as a positive of a religion (Islam in this case) allowing certain practices to come to life while still retaining the basic philosophy behind the initial non-existence of Islamic banking/insurance (no concept of interest or the money not invested in things which are haraam etc - so thats actually good, what so you feel?).
And similarly for Sati in Hinduism - the reason for it being there was that in the past, when there were too many wars and many men dying in them leaving more and more unmarried and young women - this was leading to social problems and Sati was the idea (stupid in my view) to ensure that the society did not have this skewed ratio of females to males. With change in times and situation its only sensible that this practice be stopped and thats what happened. So its good again, isnt it?

As for being one sided, well I am a Hindu and very happy about it. Consciously I try to be objective about religion and as I said believe in not comparing one religion with the other. But sub-consciously if I do have a bias, its not surprising which way I would tilt though I would be happier if I didnt have that bias.

Hope you are happy too about what you are.

Sorry, I read your post a bit late.

I am very happy about who I am. I am a Muslim and a proud Pakistani (for many reasons).
I do believe in need for a change in not so basic parts of a religeon to keep up with the present world.
