.Is the audience addressed in "before you", the reader? It seems the answer is yes!

The answer is no. I don't know what those Anti Islamic sites have been telling you, but in this verse, "you" is referring to Muhammad (Pbuh). The verse below clarifies:

2.272 It is not required of thee (O Messenger.), to set them on the right path, but Allah sets on the right path whom He pleaseth. Whatever of good ye give benefits your own souls, and ye shall only do so seeking the "Face" of Allah. Whatever good ye give, shall be rendered back to you, and ye shall not be dealt with unjustly.
Often when the Qur'an says "You," it's speaking to Muhammad (Pbuh).

Peace be unto you,
Norris
