Well, its the ones who interpret the text literally that are causing the problem so I am critical of the text. If they were applying some tortured interpretation of the text to conclude a duty to wage jihad to establish the Islamic caliphate, I wouldnt be critical of the text because it was their tortured interpretation of it that got them to their conclusion. Thats why I am not critical of Christian doctrine (as written in the bible) for the crusades and the inquisitions. That wasnt christian doctrine, that was catholic doctrine. It was catholic doctrine that ordained centuries of Kings with gods authority to rule. It was the doctrine of the bible that was used in the reformation to eliminate authority ordained by God according to the catholic church. First it was simply taken over by other denominations to ordain the king with divine authority, then in the US it was put with the people. "My kingdom is not of this world", as opposed to "[12.40] ... judgment is only Allah's; He has commanded that you shall not serve aught but Him" Ever read "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine? Other than the Bible, there was probably nothing more widely read in the 1776-87 period in the US than Paines little pamphlet.
