Devout muslims however wish to enforce Islam as it was written thousands of years ago... Even the portions that are irrelevant to our times. They propose Islam to be the perfect way of life, as written back then
That is the biggest pitfall of Islam im my opinion. It has not changed with time. Unless Muslims can wake up and question whats written in their scripts, and revise their interpretations with time... I see a vast majority of them remaining socially backward (womens rights, alcohol, sex issues, etc)

Drinking alcohol is an example of
modernism? Is that what you are saying?

So apparently you somehow know what all muslims think.
FYI lots of things about Islam today are very different from say around 600 years agao. To take your favourite example, drinking alcohol was thought at one time to be permitted, not forbidden, only discourged. The Muslims in Spain, the Mughals in India all used to drink like sailors. Lots of poetry on alochol, Rumi comes to mind, as does Omer Khayyum.
