There's a difference between what's written in holy books for any religion and how that religion plays out in practice. Tons of Catholic beliefs and practices are to be found nowhere in the Bible, for example. Ditto for both Sunni and Shia Islam and the Koran.

They're leaving how the religion operates in practice, and that includes how people practice that religion day to day.
