Asalaamu Alaykum to Mumineen,
My friend you are completely deluded from truth, and faild to mention the ayaats which were before the one's you have published (if you remove one ayat for publication, you lose the entire meaning of the ayaat) (ayaat - verse);

'How can there be a league, before Allah and His Messenger, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for Allah doth love the righteous.'
'But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah. for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).'

As for the hadeeth which you have published their authenticity is in question. Bukhari, Muslim and Tirmidhi are arranged in order, of authenticity the hadeeth you have mentioned are the most unreliable hadeeth. Some of the Hadeeth you have collected and published are also from Shia context's; they believe that Phrophet Muhammed (S.A.W) was a charlatan (killer etc), the hadeeth mentioned have inferance's of shia reference. Shia's also believe in 'concealing the truth', 'marrying four times to reach the status of a phrophet' and other ludicrous.

'Quran asks muslims to kill unbelievers. It also confirms that Mohammed killed them and was a killer. Where does it say killing is not allowed in any circumstances?'
'Quran and Hadiths confirms that Your prophet killed, looted and acquired captured women. You have condemned violence. That means you condemn Quran and Mohammed. Are you an apostate?' My friend DO NOT PUT FALSE WORDS IN MY MOUTH. That is the most insulting comment, I have ever come across, not even a anti-Muslim protestor would say that!
The Qur'an only permits Jihad; Jihad is 'defence'. There are various forms of Jihad, however the Qur'an and Shariah encourages Muslims to partake Jihad politically or verbally, if their is no other alternative; then physical jihad is permissible (as a last resort).

The only thing the prophet did was loot, however this was because Islam was in its early stages and the law against looting had not yet been revealed to the Phrophet (S.A.W).
'Had it not been for a previous ordainment from Allah, a severe penalty would have reached you for the (ransom) that ye took.'

As for treatment of woman and children, Islam treats women with more respect and dignity, than today's mordern world. The media always portrayed Islam as anti-feminist, yet it is they who think that Pornography, prostitution and Lap dancing (etc - list goes on) is permissible - does not that undermine a woman's respect and dignity?

Fi Amaan Nillah
