By whose edict? Does a Jew have to follow all 613 of the laws laid down in their holy book to be Jewish? Does a Christian have to "love the Lord God with all [their] heart, and with all [their] soul, and with all [their] mind" (not to mention all the other stuff enjoined by the Bible) to be Christian ?
The Quran's? You quote some other religions which aren't relevant because they have a long history of constant questioning and/or rejections of parts of their holy texts, which Islam does not.
Find one pseudo-Muslim who doesn't say they accept all of the Quran as God's perfect word... you'll struggle. If they were actually saying they could cherrypick it like Christians do the Bible, then we'd be getting somewhere.
