Actually, not a bad idea - or is it? To "shop" religions, or just parts of religions, after one's mood or wishes isn't considered all right to do, as it indicates that here we have an individual who hasn't any genuine FAITH. The "Ideal Religion" is supposed to be a fixed entity, propped up with "facts" of a certain kind: They are entirely built on beliefs and faith, wishes and fantasies, not hardcore proofs, like in a well-documented historical event.
Anyway, maybe someone just loves specific parts of The Quran, but - very understandable - hates what it says about the subjection of women. To such a person, the solution might be to ignore that part and substitute it with, e.g. some Buddhist stuff. Also, let's imagine that the same person hates what was done to Jesus and those two poor robbers who were executed with him, so he/she decides to skip that part and maybe go straight back to the much more cozy scenery of the stable where Mary gave birth to him?
Oops, that sure would transform the story and give it some new perspectives, but why not? I don't think I've ever seen any crucifixion sceneries with a girl, so by a few changes the story has been turned upside down, and it may even develop into a Happy End for the newborn baby. Actually, I think it's about time for something like that as the world needs many more happy endings, e.g. in politics of the today.
