Not every muslims follow all the guidelines in the Quran.
The same way that not all christians would follow all Bible guidelines like:

Stoning fortune tellers to death
Death sentence for cursing one own's parents
Death sentence for adultery
Kill homosexuals
Kill non believers
etc...

Well said!
Yes, the Bible, Old Testament and New, prescribes some insane (by today's standards) rules and punishments for transgressions. Most Jews and Christians pay no attention to stuff like:

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 -If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; and they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

That's a direct commandment from the Lord yet even the most Bible-as-literal-truth fundamental Christians ignore it. And my point: if any Christians did try to implement such a barbaric law, the rest of the Christians would oppose and condemn such behavior. They wouldn't be silent and then "outraged" when some non-Christian said such a law was evil.
The ME Muslims, I can understand them being "outraged" for everything, they're pretty ignorant. But the western world Muslims, they should not be so silent. As I said before, IMO, western/moderate Muslims should get their religious house in order and spare us their indignation.
