Islam = peace?

If islam means peace, why does my copy tell muslims to kill and ambush non-believers? Why does it tell muslims to 'not take Christians and Jews as friends." No - Islam is evil.

John Quincy Adams knew this 200 years ago and probably many more before him.

"While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet (mohammed) shall furnish motive (koran)to human action, there will never be peace upon the earth and good will toward men."

Coming from a Harvard educated President of the United States, that is quite an indictment.
