If you want to debate verse for verse I'll go along with you.

However, you may be a fine young man sincere in his 'beliefs' as are many Muslims. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims (thankfully) cherry pick their religion and emulate the good and ignore the dark side of the faith.
You are (as the man said) allowed your own opinion but not your own facts.
I only repeat the Quran, the words of the Companions or decisions by Ilamic jurists.
I also refer to how Islam has impacted cultural development.
Nothing more.
A sincere terrorist would tell you you are not practicing Islam and could point to verse after verse to support his thesis. He could point to Muhammeds example. He could point to recent Imams supporting warfare on that level as valid.
I would also say that some of your comments are very scriptually naive from a jurisprudence point of view, I hope that is from lack of study only.
Most non Muslims are ignorant of your religion so can be diverted easily with a few abrogated verses or out right misinterpretation (the New Qurans from Saudi Arabia that have been 'toned down' to be more palatable to westerners where you don't 'beat your wife' but 'strike her lightly' etc.)
I have no more patience with being politically correct with this anymore.
Islam is a threat to the West.
Those that dress it up in a cute outfit further that threat even if they don't understand it themsleves..... they are furthering the threat.
