Evidence from Quran that Allah calls us not to torment non-muslims

The following is the evidence that Allah demands muslims not to torment the children of Israel:

Taha, Chapter #20, Verse #47, "So go you both to him, and say: 'Verily, we are Messengers of your Lord, so LET THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL GO WITH US, AND TORMENT THEM NOT; indeed, we have come with a sign from your Lord! And peace will be upon him who follows the guidance!"

If Allah would demand muslims to slaughter non-muslims, he certainly would tell them to slaughter them instead of calling them not to torture them.

Muslim extremists have acted against the teaching of Quran and even to the extent stirring war against them in the past.
