Whoever wants to practice violence, wouldn't find it hard to cherry pick a good reason from anywhere. It's not a case limited to the Quran.
Yes, your understanding. But we're witnessing Sunni violence at the moment. Carried out by people having a differrent understanding, but using the same book. In short, cherry picked violence, only using the violent Suras. You probably subscribe to the non violent Suras about helping people. But both, violent and good, as I already said, can be found in any holy book. And people act according to their nature and the environment the grew up in.
They don't just use the same book. Beyond the quran the sunni and shia religions also follow hadith, they differ on which of these hadith books they follow, which they find reliable and so on.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
