again, that quote means nothing. as every modern cristian would condem that and every other similar teaching withing the bible. Thats what people mean by reform. They dont erase the bad parts, they just dont follow it blindly. Something you cant say with islam. If its withing their text they will think is the law, or they will face the law. Its not just about promoting, they have to ceondem and actually say, no this is wrong like cristianity did, muslims will still not do so.

Inn a way its kind of worse. CUz it leaves it more to interpretetation and when these young rebels are on the edege looking for any esxcuse and come acros heese horrible things and nobody is saying is wrong and so many sayiing islam is 100% word of god, they will belive this and go over the edge.

There are imams who make it a point not to promote passages that endorse violence. So I wouldn't generalize it that way.
As for believing that the books are 100% literal gods words, one poll suggests that around 24% of American's believe so: http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/gallup-only-24-americans-believe-bible-literal-word-god
While I'm sure that number is significantly higher in Islam, I still find 24% a problematic number. That's a quarter of the polulation.

I cant say I know of such group, but if they just dont promote such pasages, but dont condem them when they are brought up(if thats what they do) then its the same thing. Wich again is the point of cristinitys reform. They dont promote such barbarity, but acknoledge is in the book and say its not good anymore and all that. wich is a wold of diference.

And to the second point of the 24% who belive is 100% word of god. The reform tells them that before jesus it was a diferent time and it as allowed but that all change and now anyone who acts that way will suffer under gods hand.  So they still belive is 100% word of god, but they know that is no longer permited, well at least the majority of them do. Wich is why islam is so dangerous right now, they got no such notion of the passage of time. They still think what applys then, still does now.
