Do you suppose yousifa was sincerely trying to reach out in earnest sincerity?

It's possible. I've considered that. And I don't hold any ill will. I'm simply pointing out what Yousifa may or may not know, that terrible acts have been perpetrated by Muslims against non-Muslims all over the world as of late, and the call to arms, if you will, seems to be coming from higher levels, in the name of Islam and using the Quran as 'proof' that they are doing 'good'. Certainly what yousifa says could very well be true, that the Quran (and I don't profess to be well versed in it) may be finding itself taken out of context. Entirely possible. I'm sure there are truly peacable Muslims who are horrified at the events of recent years. But terrible actions, well funded and organized worldwide, are being encouraged, urged by supposed Muslim leaders and clerics in the name of Islam. And that is the point of my post to yousifa. That it may well say one thing, but is being used with sometimes tacit, sometimes outright approval to bring suffering to many innocent people.
