So you simply dismiss millions of Muslims that don't interpret Koran as you do. How does this help your argument? That's the "beauty" of religion: you can have "scholars" that spend their whole life studying some book and interpreting it, even convincing millions of people that you're right and then some other person comes along and he is just "Nah, you're wrong" and you can't prove either of them is wrong or right to interpret it.
Muslims see in Koran what they are brought up to see in Koran. As any holy book you can see what ever you want to see in it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
