Well, from my non-Muslim perspective it seems that Islamic scriptures might just be too easy to misinterpret!
I can understand it from your point of view, but I disagree (unsurprisingly!).
Each verse in the Qur'an was revealed in a certain context and situation. Therefore, each verse must be understood within that context. This requires in-depth historical knowledge as well as Arabic knowledge. That is knowledge that you and I both lack. One needs to be well qualified to interpret the verses of the Qur'an. The problem arises when people start making their own interpretations willy nilly (if you will pardon the expression).
