Your definition is accurate but Islam is current practicer, has been since 623. There was some drifting during and after the colonial period, but Abd al-Wahhab came to correct that. After Attaturk's deviation, Al-Banna & Qutb rose up to renovate Islam, as Moe predicted.

The Qur'an is given and accepted as the literal words of Allah to be believed and implemented. Temporary lack of piety/fidelity and or ability to implement the Qur'an does not alter the character of Islam.
