Ambiguous? Are you kidding me?

Posting other verses is irrelevant. Of course there are peaceful elements of the Qur'an--that doesn't matter. What does matter is that immutable word of Allah is telling Muslims, unless my eyes deceive me, to kill and behead those who are not of the same faith. And guess what, Sergeriver, that's exactly what's going on in the Middle East.

Have you forgotten the British hostage incident in Iran already? They made them convert to Islam!

Ambiguous...
Allah is the term used by Muslim people to call God, the same God that all the three Abrahamic Religions have.  And, if you think the Qu'ran is barbaric, then read the Old Testament, specially Deuteronomy.  You need to understand these books are a compilation of fables and verses, and they are ancient books and some verses are archaic.  You can't judge Islam for some shitty verses without reading the whole Qu'ran, as you can't judge Christianity or Judaism for the Old Testament.

Yeah, do you think maybe the lack of progress had something to do with the West oppressing them?

Just maybe?
Some of this, yes.  I would argue far more of it stems from pre-Islamic practices in the Middle East and the lack of education among the populace of many Muslim countries outside of that area.
Such as honour killings?
Well, yeah...  Honor killings are a pre-Islamic practice.  However, certain cultures have unfortunately incorporated them into Islam (like Pakistan).
