Sorry but that is a radical interpretation that doesn't hold water in mainstream Islam... it becomes as much of a reactive battle cry from Muslim haters as it is for the radical Muslims.

Sorry, but I think you are mistaken about this. This, by the way, is why I asked whether you are a Muslim, and if you speak Arabic.

If you are, in fact, a Muslim and you do, in fact, speak, or at least read, Arabic, you can point out the Surahs that support your position with some authority.

All I can do is point to literally countless translations and interpretations in English, not to mention literally countless newspaper articles, magazine articles, and books, also in English.

I suspect that you are mistaking your own beliefs for the "mainstream", which is an all too common mistake.

BTW, if you are Muslim, and do read Arabic, it would be helpful to me if you explained which version of the Koran you're reading from, that is to say, which edition, published by whom, what year, etc.
