The larger issue, I think, is the hopelessly blinkered outlook that religious people almost always have regarding their own faith. It is a rare Muslim or Christian or Jew who will come right out and say, 'My holy book instructs me to slay the innocent on behalf of my loving god.' The advantage atheists hold in this regard is that we're on the outside looking in. We can see these 'sacred' writings for what they truly are - barbaric, savage manuals written by barbaric savages that do support, condone and instruct their followers to butcher the innocent for the crime of being different.

Now you sound like a common christian fundy.
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!

I'd be very surprised if the quran has no contradictions, given that it takes a "page" out of older books that are riddled with contradictions in an attempt to worship the same abrahamic god.

One magic books claim to flawless editing is about as credible as any others.

I haven’t read the Quran right to the end yet, but I would wager it doesn’t actually mentions bombs at any point.

It seriously doesn't.
Until now I couldn't find a convincing counter-argument against its verses. It rather clears the riddles dictated by twisted old texts.

It mentions what bombs do. Corruption and murder are the aftermath of swords, daggers, arrows and bombs.

Wherein both will be those (maidens) restraining their glances upon their husbands, whom no man or jinn yatmithhunna (has opened their hymens with sexual intercourse) before them (Quran 55:56, Mushin)

If God really wanted people not to kill each other, he's just make it impossible.
I know, I know, free will. But we don't have free will, we have extremely limited will. Out of all the things I could possibly conceive of doing, I can only physically do a tiny percentage. But for some reason killing people was included as one of those options.
