Ok, let's take baby steps (until you will pick up the pace)
Start with the revelation of the Qur'an itself, is it's immediate nature that of a book (kitab) in and of itself?
Were all 114 Surahs revealed to be read as one, non-stop text?
If you answered "no" then you are starting to get somewhere.
When you say E X T R E M E L Y repetitive, you are therefore meaning that these Surahs have themes and parallels running through them? no?
So will someone shouting "Islam is ISIS, Islam is ISIS, Islam is ISIS" every week at you. If someone is intelligent, they may ask skeptically "what is the truth to this? if there is any". Then they will likely try to historically track down the roots of ISIS and find out what the roots of their ideology is, were it emerged and why....instead of just immediately assuming they came from the Qur'an.
There's your homework.
The book is EXTREMELY repetitive as anyone who has read the book will tell you.

Such repetition WILL aid in transferring the messages into the reader's long term memory.
