Ah! It’s nice to agree, yeah! 
I think a good book on issues such as gender and LGBTQ issues and imperialism is Joseph Mossad’s Desiring Arabs, where he argues for a lack of understanding of these issues by those writing on the topic in the west and how queer practices that actually do go on in the middle east (and historically have) have been overlooked and dismissed as not being properly gay as defined by the west - it was quite a controversial book, actually, but worth reading:
Here is another in a simiilar vein about Iran by Namjambadi:
I agree that an Islamic system would be different, and there is a number of ideas about what a proper Islamic state should look like, from Daesh down to people like Irishad Manji. I’m not sure it’s the job of the west to dictate statecraft.
