imagine if somebody posted a quote by Churchill or a passage from the Qur’an and it was mistakenly tagged as trolling.

If the trolling criteria include "racism" or "threats of violence" (as in the OP), I think both of these sources would be correctly matched by the software. (Which is not to say I think we should censor them.)

If the criteria include the generous "language [which] is offensive" (also in the OP), I think most language ever written would turn out to be offensive to someone.

Indeed.
