And yet, as my links show, the militant, jihadi interpretation is not recognized as mainstream.

When I quote violent Bible verses, people protest that I have missed the context, or the true meaning of the words, or stuff like that -- in other words, the meaning of the phrase can not be understood merely from a literal reading of the words.

Yet these same people do not extend the same courtesy to Islam and the Quran. They quote verses out of context and claim it must mean what it literally says, universally applied.

At least be consistent.
