As the verses are connected to each other, you should study at the least the preceding and following verses for a sense of the immediate context. Also the reader should look at all of the verses that deal with the same subject in the book. These are frequently scattered all over the scripture.

You would then realise that the sort of 'violence' that it permits is only in siutations of self-defence and war (a delicate subject).

And I also remember pointing out that having different morals for "war" and "peace" are highly subjective, contradictory and have been ABUSED to an incredible extent.

See, the Qu'ran teaches that it is meant to be taken in only one way. The true way. The problem is that everyones way is the "true" way to them. To Bin Laden, those like you are not good Muslim's or whatever sect you are. And I'm sure Bin Laden thinks you do not follow true Islam. As long as this persists there will continue to be massive amounts of violence.
