Well, I agree that it's not a very nice interpretation, and a very sad one too. But it is possible to support or renounce any idea using the same out of context quote.

Many wars were fought in Medeival times in the name of Christ, quoting the Bible, when the message of Christ is clearly a peaceful one ("Love thy enemy", "Turn the other cheek"). It's easy to see how silly things can get when interpreting out of context.

That said, to add context, refference Yorrik's posts (as he seems more read on the Qu'aran than I), and it is easy to see where I got the intolerance interpretation. The portions of the Qu'aran that I have read do support what Yorrik has already stated, and I tend to agree with him.
