The Muslim Student Association has an online Quran, with three translations side-by-side. The violent passages are fairly consistent with each other. For example:
002.191 YUSUFALI: And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.In reading the Quran, you should look at the chronology. The later (war-like) chapters from the Madina period replace the earlier "peace" chapters written in the Mecca period
PICKTHAL: And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.
SHAKIR: And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
I can post translations that aren’t violent too. I didn’t say there weren’t violent translations. Did I miss your point?
