full of faults
"We find fault with the world, while the faults lie in our own selves.
The world is not full of fault, except that we are full of flaws.
A wolf does not eat the flesh of another of its kind
but we eat the flesh of each other knowingly
We have worn the sheep's clothing to deceive the people
but woe unto the wild animal if it strays by us!
We have reduced religion to mere show and formalities
and thus, we deceive those who look at us."
-Imam Shafi (RA)
