And maybe that is its biggest problem. Some people say that you have to look at the Quran in an historical perspective and others say that is open ended and its verses pertain to all time. There is no longer a central figure or organization that controls how it is interpreted so it is left to whatever wingnut imam that is standing before you. And there does not need to be any serious twisting of its words. They just have to cherry-pick what they want to support their ideas, cause, riot, beheading, suicide, etc.
