Never was female genital mutilation or honor killings that are practised in some communities a part of islam. it is just their evil cultural things. in india some muslims take dowry from women (when islam ask it is only men's duty), in Turkey drinking alcohol is legal (though in islam it is haraam). Yes I have taken very different examples. But can we say they are part of islamic culture. No.
