No, it's worse than wrong, it's simply meaningless. Adherents of Islam are pretty much free to embrace or repudiate (or both!) any action or tenet.
Christianity under the pope had a central authority. With reformation, came decentralization and religious wars. Islam is like Protestantism in this respect, there is no central authority. If you have five Imam, you get seven opinions. Who is to say what is or isn't consistent with the "Noble" tenets of Islam?

To respectfully dissent, Christianity (Roman Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, Coptic, etc.) has a central authority, God, and as a proxy of sorts, the Bible.
