I get what you're saying and you'd be absolutely right in that assessment given the widespread understanding of religion.   
For Christians, yes, all the uncomfortable stuff is done away with by the church changing gods laws to suit the wishes of the pope and the demands of the times. Divorce, Polygamy, Swine, Interest, Witches, even racism.  
For Muslims it's a slightly different case because Islamic law is still the law in most muslim countries. And on an individual basis it's the ones that follow the Quran to a T that are the good muslims while all the savages and idiots are the ones that have little to no knowledge of the Quran and who therefore follow rulers, clerics or other idiots.   
You can see the book itself at quran.com. I'd recommend the Saheeh International Translation because that the one is simple English. And if there's any rule you find to be evil or offensive, let me know.   
Or if you allow, I can guess that your main objections might be to things like men being allowed 4 wives, veiled women, hand amputation for theft, death sentences for adultery and homosexuality, acceptance of slavery?  
  
Because yes, all of them are in the Quran. But if you're interested I can share the fuller context because sometimes it helps to clear concepts. For example, yes, adultery is punishable by death BUT you need 4 witnesses to prove it, and if the accused denies it 4 times then there will be no punishment because the matter is left to God... even if it's somehow proven or confessed, if the accused just say sorry there is to be NO punishment... So essentially, its the equivalent of decriminalized offences but the law isn't changed because the aim is that if you're going to sin, keep it hidden and don't do it in public or boast about it because that encourages more sin.  
  
That might still not be acceptable to some people but I'm guessing it sounds far more moderate and acceptable to far more people when it's explained fully, rather than those that simply say Islam kills people who fuck around.   
  
And in the extremely rare cases where extremists have killed adulterers despite a mercy plea, then those are the ones that aren't following the Quran to a T and are actually bad muslims.   
  
But if you do want to know more about any rule in the book, you're welocme to ask. Am always happy to answer, no matter how taboo or awkward the subject.   
  
Peace 🙏
