Non-muslim governments treat Muslims extremists as terrorists. The danger of over-emphasizing from violence and to show public with the wrong perception that the Holy Quran encourages violence between muslims and non-muslims, might cause non-Muslims governments to beware of Muslims. The worse would come that more non-Muslim governments from many counrtries might ban Muslims worshipping in their countries. Not only that it could go to the extreme in banning the Holy Quran. Thus, it is not justifiable and healthy sign from Muslim extremists to quote The Holy Quran for holy war since it might have negative effect instead of the positive.
