Might I suggest that all Muslims don't read or interpret the Qur'an the same way anymore than all Christians read or interpret the Bible the same way? Verse-slinging back and forth isn't going to change how a given sect of Muslims interprets their holy book.
You want to believe that Islam is derived straight from Satan and that any true interpretation of the Qur'an is one that calls for the destruction of all non-believers, fine, but that doesn't change the fact that there are millions of Muslims out there who DON'T believe that to be the case.
Also, the whole permission to lie thing (taqiyya) is a Shi'ite rather than a Sunni doctrine, so it isn't applicable here.
Read Emerson or Pipes or any of the other experts on Islamic terrorism. Hell, just look at the ISCA's own website section on "Extremism" and compare it to that of the terrorist apologists like CAIR or AMC. Kabbani and his followers are some of the good guys.

Since so many like to speak in fairy tale terms, I'll oblige:
Satan has his finger in everthing that exists in the material world.
To lie, or spread disinformation is a tried and true war tactic, used by anyone who wants to win. Originally attributed to Satan, yet adopted by anything that lives from the venus fly trap, to human militaries, to con artists.
Let's all just wake up and open our eyes. The line is drawn between good and evil, not someplace else. Watch out, satan has us all made, most of us just don't know it.
