You really don’t seem to “get this”…Do you have any, say, sacred texts in your religion (assuming you might be “religious”)? And, what role does that text play in the practice of your religion? Shall we ban the Christian Bible since I can dredge up quotes which sound to me to be hateful and violent? T

Contrarily to Christianity and Judaism who have the Magisterium (for Catholicism), the conscience (for most Protestant churches) and the Talmud, the Oral Torah and the role of the sages for Judaism which allows a new interpretation of the texts when circumstances change, Islam consider the Koran to be the word of God and do not have a science of exegesis since the khalif Al Mamun, the son of Harun al-Rashid. This means that what is written in the Koran must be interpreted literally. So you stome the adulterous woman evben today and you kill the apostate, because it is written.

This makes the quotes from the Koran a literal blueprint for conduct, which the OT or the NT are not for Judaism or Christianity. Tell me when was the last time that an adulterous woman was stoned in Judaism? In Christianity?
