Islam didn't create Arabs. Arabs created Islam. Arabs doing stupid shit isn't a result of Islam, Islam is just a reflection of the intensely-introverted Arabic culture. And we all know that introverted cultures can do a lot of bizarre stuff, like Indians, North Koreans, African tribes. Granted, Arabs take it to a whole different level. But this shouldn't be attributed to all Muslims.
How does non arab (the medieval caliphate version) orientated islam differ ?
I'm completely serious and non judgemental about that question.
I'm glad you asked that question. Islam, in its core, is just a manifesto of Arab culture and values. Let's call things what they are. God didn't choose Saudi Arabs to spread the truth throughout the world. They invented this set of norms and spread it by sword. Therefore it's impossible to surgically remove the Arabic culture and values from Islam. Islam teaches you to live and think like Arabs, and submit to the Arabic understanding of God. There is no truly non-Arab oriented Islam.
The closest to a non-Arab version of Islam was Ottoman Empire, because the Central Asian Turkish culture (where Turkish race was born) was too dominant to be dominated by Arabic culture. That's why the Ottomans somehow found the midpoint between Arab oriented Islamic culture and the original non-Islamic Turkish culture. It also helped that Ottomans were in war with Arabs.
Today, Islam IS Arabic in its core. But that doesn't mean those people are doing it because of being Muslim. Islam is just a front for Arabic aggression and its dominant culture. If you saw an Italian Christian organizing Mafia and bringing his family members to join, would you attribute that to him being Christian or him being Italian? That's how it's like with Muslim Arabs.
If you actually put all the religious norms aside and analyze religion as a historian and sociologist, you will come to realize that Islam is just a big cover up for Arabic Imperialism.
