Religious interpretation or exegesis in Islam dates back to the dawn of the religion. It is complex and relies on carefully reasoned precedent. It's interesting that casual critics of Islam and Muslim extremists (mostly influenced by Wahhabist Saudi thought) take the same amateurish approach to interpreting scripture, by de-contextualising random passages, throwing away exegesis and going for "aha!" moments to justify their positions.
