Also costs are only for the book itself and delivery, some only delivery. Its against Islam for someone to make any kind of profit distributing the book.

That's correct ,one also has to be careful when reading meaning into various pieces of text ,when a text says "fight the non believers" what does it mean ? does it mean fight in a violent way (shoot/kill/maim) or does it mean fight in a passive way ,according to texts in the Quran a Muslim can only be aggressive in self defence .As in all religious texts the meaning is read in a different way by different people who want it to say a certain thing to suit their own personal needs hence we end up with different factions of the same religion
