There are a few things I like to highlight to you:
a) Allah says that he is the most merciful but your interpretation has been found to suit you for your purpose purpose that you say that Allah is cruel and he wants non-muslims to fight.
b) Quran states that Allah is the most forgivable but your interprettion has been found not acceptable from Quran's point of view since you menion that Allah would not forgive non-muslims.
c) Quran states that muslims do good deeds can go paradise but you twist the words in Quran that Quran discourages good deeds but evil deeds, such as, violence, vandalism, riots and etc.
d) Quran states that muslims do evil deeds will go to hell but you twist the words in Quran to suit your interpetation that muslims do evil deeds can receive rewards from Allah and go to paradise
e) Quran states that Adam is also muslim and Adam believes in Allah too and that implies that Allah has been existed even before religion is formed but you say that Allah existed only at the time when Muhammad was arround.
f) Quran states that Jihad has to be meant for Holy War and that must be in the cause of Allah. Or in other words, only Allah has the right to call muslims for Jihad and if Allah says, 'stop', we, muslims must not continue to fight. But you twist the true meaning of Quran that Allah encourages muslims to fight even if non-muslims stop in fighting.
g) Quran demands all muslims to obey Allah. As Quran is the words from Allah, we must obey all the message from Quran. However, you abuse Sahih Bukhari to interpet it to suit your taste and you use the meaning to overwrite the message from Quran.
h) When Mohamad Nozzi quotes the message from Quran and he did not twist the meaning from Quran to suit his interpretation. All muslims and non-muslims should flip the Quran to check all the verses from Quran whether he did twist the words to suit his interpetation and all would have found none. However, you have mentioned that all these verses are not the messages from Allah.
i) Quran mentions that muslims must stop fighting when non-muslims withdraw from fighting. But you have twisted the words from Allah that he wants all muslims to fight continously.
From all the lists as mentioned above, it proves that you have twisted the message of Allah so that all muslims and non-muslims would have bad impression about Quran.
As all the lists as mentioned above show that there are many discrepancies between verses to verses in Quran, it proves that all your interpretations are wrong and not acceptable.
You have mentioned earlier that the reason that Quran is contradictory is due to Quran itself is so. However, you have to bear in mind that Allah is the one that gives revelation to Muhammad and this means Allah is the author from the first chapter of Quran to the last chapter. How could there be contradictions if the same author has been directed for message? There should not be any contradiction in Quran. The only reasonable thing I could think of is you have abused the message of Allah to suit your own interpretation and that causes the entire Quran to be contradictory.
Even if you argue that Allah is not the writer but Muhammad, that could not be acceptable that the teaching would itself be contradictory since the same Muhammad that had directed the words to be written in the form of Quran.
Even you would read novels or any kind of story books, you would have discovered that the story that he writes from the beginning would never be contradictory to the very last part of the story. All in all have to be concluded that you have abused Quran for your own interpretation and/or advantage and this causes the doctrines in Quran to be contradictory.
