SheDBabe - at the risk of starting an argument and going off topic - clearly what you say doesn't hold true. You only have to look around the modern city of Doha to see that people have adopted many new methods and lifestyles.
I can understand what Abu said not imitating rituals that aren't from Islam, but I'm not buying that Muslims don't "innovate" (which is the wrong word I think, adapt and adopt is better, but anyway).
I'm not that clever brit!
