Well, when it comes to Quran and war maybe we could discuss the use of Quran by notorious jihadis to wage war on non-muslims?
For instance, back in 2009 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and few other Muslims, who were accused of helping plot the 9/11 attacks, wrote that letter "Islamic Response to the Government’s Nine Accusations" where they quoted the Quran to justify their jihad war against the American Infidels. link
In it they wrote
Osama bin Laden also regularly quoted Quran like in the notorious "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places" from 1996 he quotes seven Koran verses: 3:145; 47:4–6; 2:154; 9:14; 47:19; 8:72; and the notorious "Verse of the Sword," 9:5. Source
And in 2002 in bin Laden's letter to American People began with two Koran quotations: "Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory" (22:39); and "Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah, e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan" (4:76).

Or I remember in 2006 when a gang of Muslims in Paris kidnapped Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Jew, who was tortured and murdered with his captors demanding half a million euros in ransom money and reciting verses of the Koran.

We can discuss more cases.

Quote:In God's book, he ordered us to fight you everywhere we find you, even if you were inside the holiest of all holy cities, The Mosque in Mecca, and the holy city of Mecca, and even during sacred months.
In God's book, verse 9, AI-Tawbah: (("then fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, and besiege them and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush,))

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"
