Get a copy of the book "Reliance of the Traveller." Full title is:
Reliance of the Traveller: The Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law Umdat Al-Salik
You can find it on Amazon. Skip the sections on how to wash yourself.
Read the sections about "Abrogation" - which tells you later sections of the Quran overrule the earlier ones...
Then read about Jihad.

Something to consider is that
Reliance of the Traveller is a manual of Shafi'i school jurisprudence.
Since Shafi'i comprise less than 30% of all Muslims* it might be a mistake to assume all Muslims, or even all Shafi'i for that matter, truly believe what it says.
* Wikipedia says 28%. See
