Yikes. Tell that to all the moderates living in those countries, the Hindu's living in the Indian sub-continent, the Christian sects living throughout all of those regions.

The vast majority of Muslim's will look at the very Surah's highlighted in previous posts on this thread and realize that they are superseded by more moderate/palatable ones to our Western-eyes.
I am sure that radical Muslim's can take a look at the Old Testament and pick and choose their own passages that support their views of Christianity.
It appears to me that any radical of any religious belief can point to any Holy Book to support their particular brand of radicalism. In my own view that is just a sign of a simple-mind, as they miss the grander scheme of things that their religion is really all about.
You've got various groups one one side in all of these conflicts, but in each of these various cases, one particular group is always a common factor on the other side.
