How are they taking their religion seriously when they aren't even following the basic rules of said religion?

That the thing about following what is essentialy an extension of a bronze age mythology, it contains many rules and passages that are contradictory to each other and loopholes through which these acts of violence are allowed and encouraged.
But you can hardly blame the people who wrote the Quran can you,given that they are only human.

Quite a difference between statements that contradict each others and statements that are deliberately taken out of context to give a darker meaning. Which is exactly what extremists do when criticizing the opposing religion/school of thought.
The main problem within islam (in my opinion) is that people take every Hadith (narrations attributed to Muhammad) too serouisly. A lot of Hadith are immediately contradictory with the Quran as well as with other Hadith even when a context is provided.
Out of curiosity, do you know anything about how these "Hadith" were compiled?

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.
