Because Islamic scriptures ,or any religious scriptures for that matter, have a vast collection of phenomenologically applicable narratives that are in direct contradiction with eachother. This nature of the scripts creates the foundation for it's followers to interpret and assign any portion of script an exaggerated amount of meaning, based on the person's biases that stem from their experience with reality.
That's why you see huge division with in certain religions. Even if there is cultural wisdom that might tune and direct the practice of Islam, the inherent nature assigned to it due to the universal nature of Islam makes it vulnerable to any form of interpretation (since it's difficult to shape different cultures to follow one that lacks nueance). So a person with evil intent could easily conjure up a narrative from experience based on the scripts, that would create chaos. To lebel this person as a fellow Muslim is difficult, but to say Islam (or any organised religion) doesn't create individuals with polarised ideas who are willing to inflict their will on others would be misleading.
