Islamic Legal confusion is deliberate

The legal confusion to which you refer is a way of keeping people uncertain and forcing them to rely on interpretation, and enables denyability of the type you employ. If there genuinely was a universal Islamic law, it would have been codified by now so that the real law could be known. Though you claim to have studied "the real law" I bet that you will not raise a single finger to actually codify it and remove this confusion.
