Modern Muslims have modernised themselves because they want prosperity, they want life, they want all round good for everyone etc. In a nutshell they are trying to balance things.

Laws that many Muslims shun because they don't agree with that version of Islam(Sharia) .My point was that there is no correct version to follow ,the same applies to Christianity which has many different sects of the same religion .The version you are reading and quoting from is one of the most extreme versions ,as is Islam practiced in Saudi where punishment is severe and considered brutal and women have no rights .Other versions or translations of the Quran are less extreme so who is right ? nobody knows the truth but don't be fooled into thinking that your "stamped and approved copy" is any more correct than any other official translation .
