This reminds me of Christians that twist themselves into painfully contorted logic knots when someone points out the explicit endorsement of slavery in the bible. Again, isn't it possible (and likely) that the people who wrote the Koran (since it isn't divinely inspired) are simply WRONG? Holding a book up as a useful philosophical guide to follow (which is what I think you're doing since you disregard God claims) doesn't mean that you have to agree with every single point, nor does it mean you have to twist anything you find disagreeable into something nice and simpatico.
Instead of taking the mantle of "The guy who interprets the Koran correctly while these other millions of people have it wrong", drop the arrogation of accuracy and just be open to the idea that a millennia and a half ago some dudes got some shit wrong.
