If you could strip out the bloodier-minded parts of the Quran, or write them off as historical edicts, meant for only one time and place, maybe even what would remain of that book.

Unfortunately, this is impossible. Anything that remained that would seem ethical was only stolen/plagerized from the Jewish and Christian texts. Also, the bloodier-minded parts of the Quran cannot be “written off” as historical edicts. Those parts of the Bible which are actually historical edicts for one time and one place and one people, are not “written off” as such. They ARE such.
