Almost every faith, Islam included, fights strongly against syncretic tendencies (the mixing of the "true faith" with "locally existent faiths"). However, Islam in most of the further regions, like Indonesia, the African Sahel and parts of Europe have become rather syncretic. Additionally, many Muslims have cultural practices that Islam actually forbids, but believe that these practices are Islamic because of syncretism in many Islamic areas with Pre-Islamic traditions.
