Quick question, what exactly is USA blaming Islam about? I'm still a little confused about your questions.

As for why people do it, it's a very personal choice. You also have to remember that there are more then 30 different version of Islam, from your Sufi to your Wahabi. The thing about Islam is it's a very decentralize religion. There is no authority in Islam and fatwas come and go every single day. Depending on who you follow, people can pick and choose which fatwas to follow and which one to ignore.

Then you have different regional interpretation of the religion. What is consider a big thing in Indonesia can be consider sacriligious in Saudi Arabia. (For instance, many Indonesian Muslims believe in spirits of ancestor to help them go through rough patches. That will never be acceptable by the Wahabi)
