Free Bee:

You wrote "If you read Quran, you will see that it teaches Compassion, Tolerance, Forgiveness, Peace and Love for others.".

Well, we, non-muslims, don't deal with Islam; rather we deal with followers of Islam. I don't know, if Allah is Compassionate and Merciful or not (I have no way of knowing it), but I have serious doubts about the followers of Islam. I wonder if muslims follow Koran? or even understand it?

It is just like in Saudi Arabia. A Qadi always says "In the name of most comapssionate and the most mericiful allsh, I now sentence you to death".

Again it is just like an official execuioner doing an official execution in Saudi Arabia. Before he puts the sword on the neck of the individual, he always recites "In the name of the most compassionate and most merciful Allah ...", and then he does the beheading with the sword.
