Wrong again.
Their interpretation is very literal and their adherence very thorough, hence the beheadings and such.
Their practice of Islam is comparable to following all of the laws of the Old Testament. It's definitely not a pick-and-choose approach.

Here's one that disputes that. LINK
quote:
Rashid Khalidi, a professor of modern Arab studies at Columbia University, disputes that the Quran offers any justification for beheading. He cites the lines coming immediately after one of the two verses used to justify the act: “Therefore, when you meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks.” But the very next line, contained in Chapter 47, Verse 4: “At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind the captives firmly. Therefore is the time for either generosity or ransom.”
So basically, Khalidi said, there’s nothing about this passage that justifies the cutting off of heads.
“It just shows that they don’t know anything about Islam and they probably don’t know how to read this properly,” he said.

Mercenaries were considered mainstream until fairly recent times.

This states that you either cut off their heads, enslave them and/or make them pay taxes. So it does justify cutting off heads, just not as the only thing allowed.
“Therefore, when you meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks.” But the very next line, contained in Chapter 47, Verse 4: “At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind the captives firmly. Therefore is the time for either generosity or ransom.”

Just as a counterpoint, what's the cultural problem that causes young white men to become mass shooters? Mass shooters are almost exclusively white males aged 17-30. Is this endemic to a certain culture or can we just say that it's a radicalized minority?

You spend way too much time thinking about unsolvable problems while ignoring the simple solutions to obvious perils.
