What are you talking about? Are you just stating verses without knowing the history about it? Muslims don't go around killing people and slaughtering them. Only people who start aggression are fought by Islam.

Early Muslims were subjected to great torture on the hands of non believers and they held their values strongly.They even immigrated to other lands to escape this racism.It was only that when these atheists wouldn't leave them alone that they were led into those fights.And may I remind you that the Prophet's conquest in Mecca was not achieved by war.He managed to enter peacefully. The Koran specifically stresses that each person if\s free to believe what they want to . In the meantime you should not go around offending Muslims and being sarcastic about their beliefs and saying a load of non sense that they are taught to hate non-muslims? What's your basis for this ? You should learn about Islam first and then talk about it.
