Praise be to Allah.
The response that you describe is wrong, and the people’s evil actions cannot be justified. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And if you obey most of those on the earth, they will mislead you far away from Allah’s path” [al-An’aam 6:116]
Rulings on what is halal and what is haram are taken from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), not from what people do, because people may be wrong or they may be right.
