To me this verse is one of the most important verse and muslims should be reminded that they will be judged for their interpretation of the Qu'ran:
----
The Family of Imran
[3.7] He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive, they are the basis of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind except those having understanding.
----
God is testing you in the Qur'an itself so everytime somebody comes to you with one of these "allegorical" verses that apparently justify killing or beating try to exercise logic and see if there is a clearer verse on the matter somewhere else.
