Muslims, How Do You Explain These Verses in the Quran?

Question by Young man: Muslims, how do you explain these verses in the Quran?
I know there are a lot of verses taken out of context to make the religion look bad, but I found these myself, straight from the Quran:

Surah 4:34 – Men are superior to women, and may beat their wives if they disobey:

Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme.

Surah 4:89 – Muslims must NOT have disbelievers as friends! If a Muslim decides to leave Islam, he must be killed.

They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah;if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,

Surah 9:111 – the Quran commands Muslims to kill in the way of Allah

Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah ? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.

Surah 9:73 – Allah tells Mohammed to strive harshly against disbelievers

O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey’s end.

Surah 9:123 – Muslims must fight disbelievers who are near them

O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).

Surah 4:24 – You may keep women who are captured in war as your “possessions”, and you may have sex with them.

And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.

Surah 4:19 – Muslims can force the wives of their dead friends to marry them if they are guilty of lewdness.

O ye who believe! It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit the women (of your deceased kinsmen), nor (that) ye should put constraint upon them that ye may take away a part of that which ye have given them, unless they be guilty of flagrant lewdness.

Surah 22:2 – Women will suffer miscarriages because of Allah’s final judgement.

On the day when ye behold it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling and every pregnant one will be delivered of her burden, and thou (Muhammad) wilt see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but the Doom of Allah will be strong (upon them).
