In need of a more humbleness. Why condemning the Theistic position makes no sense.

As Islam was manufactured by men over a stretch of indeterminate time - of course- there will have been a point at which it's dogma had not been codified or set in stone. If I have to take two verses that say entirely disparate things and decide which one is the party line, or if I have to imagine that what is meant by the words on the page as something-other than- what words are on the page - the proposition is DOA. Don;t get me wrong, I like your interpretation - but something (maybe the constant invocations of hellfire and pain for the unbelievers repeated ad naus throughout the entirety of the text) tells me that it's a minority report - at best. Your verse doesn't seem, to me, to make the claim that -you- make about it. "Those that do good" would not include the unbelievers. You know as well as I that Islam (like all religions) has special definitions and categories for this sort of thing.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
