A lot of arguments at the local level (as opposed to the scholarly level) revolves around people justifying their batil actions in the light of permissibility of those actions in Islam.
Every once in a while an influential scholar will get through to them, bluntly of otherwise. Regardless, the scene repeats itself months or years later.
The reason we have arguments whether justified or not... it is because we are trying to correct people... That is the root reason people have arguments...
One person believes they are right and the other person is wrong... And many times our correcting people runs people away from Islam... But sometimes we just have to accept people as they are and stop trying to make the world perfect... I have not met anyone who is protected from error....

I don't know where you draw the line... when do you let a person be and when do you correct them??? How do we enjoin the right and forbid the wrong??? I don't know... But I do know, We will not be saved because of our good deeds.... but through Allah's mercy... Ibn Rajab al Hanbali has a nice commentary on this hadith....

What is the solution??? I don't know...

Perhaps we should do less correcting with our tongues and more correcting by being an example... And perhaps by your state who you are, the person who is wrong will want to be like you.... Because talk is cheap.... No one likes to listen to someone who talks the talk but cannot walk the walk...
