Shiek Google search
The problem with the way some radical Christians interpret the Qur'aan and Islaamic religious text is the same exact problem the deviant sects( like The Khawarij, Takfeeeri's and Qutubi's) among Muslims have, they go to the text with a pre-conceived notion and agenda already set in stone and comb through the text picking out phrases that they can quote out of any context of the rest of the chapter, the whole of the book, the Arabic language and the historical context so they can say look! I have found the smoking gun that proves what I already believed before I even started to look for the evidence, the major problem with this style of hermeneutics or lack of hermeneutics is that in the process of searching for the perfect passage or word that can be interpreted to fit their desires they passover many many many passages that contradict their pre-conceived notion.
The reality is before many of these arm chair, Google search, amazon,com Islaamic Scholars who don't know any Arabic let alone the smallest fundamental principles of Islaam( as opposed to actual Islaamic Scholars who spend 2 years studying Arabic grammar and memorizing the Qur'aan before they are even allowed to study Usool Ad Deen the basic fundamentals of the Religion for 4 or more years before they are then allowed to study such intricate Islaamic sciences as Tafsir i.e Qur'aanic commentary and interpretation) begin to pass Islaaimc legal rulings they should review their own book first off the 10 commandments that tells them to not bear false witness and is it not false witness for someone to put themselves forward to talk about things they have zero knowledge of as if what they are saying is truth just because they “feel” it's truth? And then they can move on to Galatians chapter 5 and review the fruits of the flesh which include slandering and backbiting which these who do can not enter into the kingdom of Heaven

This is not TV
I was raised a evangelical Christian but now I am a Muslim, so I know the psychology behind this slandering and attacking of Islaam and its people. If your born in the West from birth you are constantly being shown negative images about Islaam, Muslim and any MiddleEsterners in general, from bugs bunny cartoon's, to ahab the arab, to one sided sensationalist news stores( there is a documentary showing over 100 years of bigoted and racist portrayals of Muslims and Arabs- called planet of the Arabs). These people are just carrying on the legacy of the Crusades and the orders of the Pope at that time to - it is ingrained in the culture that Muslims are our natural enemies no matter what they do even if they bow down and lick our boots we will find a reason to demonize them and colonize them.
Muslim are humans' not TV images or villein number 5 in your Delta force Chuck Norris movies, there are all types of Muslim good ones average one's exceptional ones, bad ones and evil ones - just like every single group of humans on the earth. There is so much about Islaam and Muslim you will never know about because you do not care to know, really it is your lost not ours.
My finial point is Knowledge is freedom and power get some.
