Thats all very well and good, but one cannot deny that it is very easy to rationalize violence against non-muslims by using those quotes, and you haven't exactly come out saying that those quotes don't directly inflame violence against "non-believers". There's a thing called tolerance, look into it.

These verses are very easily used to justify any kind of terrorism, and when it is said that all words in the Qur'an are perfected, its hard to argue against that. Literal translation justifies violence. It does not that God/Allah will kill those that are unbelievers, it says that YOU should kill unbelievers. This is not an arguable point.

Many of the calls to violence may seem good intentioned to you, but its all relative. Fanatic Muslim "good intentions" may not coincide with common morality.
