Very pertinent post, and a great reminder. Jazaka Allahu khairan.

For example, he knew someone who veiled his wife and would not let her meets others; this same man indulged in dirty dealings. But if you looked at him and listened to him with his <i>Subhan'Allah</i> and <i>Masha'Allah</i> you wouldn't know that. Now my father has begun to realise that these things do not have anything to do with Islam. When the Australian Muslim writer Haneefa Deen visited Bangladesh she found that some clerics had changed the Prophet's, peace be upon him, saying "Heaven lies at the feat of thy mother" to "Heaven lies at the feet of thy husband". This is a predicament for converts to Islam because they are likely to trust any Muslim who emits <i>tradition</i> rather than piety and good behaviour which bear the sum of faith.
