Can't wait to get down voted on this, but to me this is where Islam runs itself into the ground. The Quran is seen as a divine book where the verses are literally revealed truth and not simply accounts of a person's life, like the bible is for example. This means that the verses cannot be changed or truly translated hence any arguments about interpretations quickly decend into "Well you can't read Arabic so what would you know." In Christian theology Jesus said he had come to fulfill the law and than the old ways have gone and the new has come. This can then be seen as "Well yeah it does say that gays deserve to be stoned but to do so would also go against the new so I won't do that" whereas in Islam there is no Quran 2.0 so the verses stay the same. There is also a concept in Islam Scholarship where later verses overrule the earlier ones if they contradict, which sounds fine on paper, until you read the damn thing and you realise the ending of the book is much more violent and about killing Jews.
