I don't have any bombs, but even if I did, I wouldn't need a book to tell me not to blow up civilians with it.

You personally don't; but world leaders obviously do need a book telling them to not blow other humans.
Right now, there are missiles carrying nuclear warheads aimed at me and you, that chaotic, violent omen is kept by a law written in a book called "the constitution of the state".

Okay, you were directing the question to Donald Trump and such? Sure, he's a maniac and it would be great if someone sane was in charge instead.

However, the book isn't going to stop anyone doing those things, even if they read it. They may interpret it differently to you, or just ignore it. Explaining why it's a bad thing to do without referring to a specific religion would be more effective, wouldn't it?

That's a nice passage. I wish more muslims would follow the nicer passages, but like christians, many find more meaning in the hateful and violent passages. Like the bible, you can find a verse to support pretty much any belief you have.

I have no idea what is the point of all this "Islam is moral" stuff. Are we supposed to all convert to Islam so that the world would be peaceful? Somehow I don't think that's the answer.

He's trying to make Islam look better. This is necessary because he's deeply embarrassed with the way things are going right now, but he doesn't have the means or the will to try to change things. Thus the slapped on coat of paint.
