There is no one translation you can blame for misleading the public into thinking Islam is daggers. Their actions in the name of the Koran probably reach a larger audience on the news every night, then Dadwoods total sales on Amazon. I've compared verses with devout Muslims, and gone back and forth. The problem is, there is not a single accurate English translation on the market. The Koran doesn't translate (nor does the The Bible, honestly. Look at the King James version...yikes).

The general ideas are all the same though, even when described in lesser terms. Islamic scholars who take a more liberal approach will never argue one verse at a time, they'll compare contradictions later on to say "see, so when the Koran say's to beat your wife, it means to do with a toothbrush, and that's silly, so it's obviously not a literal commandment".
