the bible doesnt tell you to kill heathens but muslims are told to kill us
Surah II: 98 – “Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers.”
Surah II: 191-193 – “Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them….Fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah.”
Surah II: 216 – “Fighting is enjoined on you, and it is an object of dislike to you; and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know.”
Surah III: 19 – “Surely the true religion with Allah is Islam…and whoever disbelieves in the communications of Allah then surely Allah is quick in reckoning.”
Surah IV: 104 – “Be not weak in pursuit of the enemy.”
Surah V: 51 – “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whosoever among you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Surah VIII: 12 – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.”
Surah VIII: 15-17 – “O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, turn not your backs to them. Whoever shall turn his back to them on that day – unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company – then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah’s wrath, and his abode is hell… So you did not slay them, but it was Allah who slew them…that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.”
Surah IX: 29 – “Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth… until they pay the tax in acknowledgement of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.”
Surah IX:33 – “[Allah] it is who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though polytheists may be averse.”
Surah IX: 73 – “O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is their destination.”
Surah IX: 123 – “O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in your hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).”

It does not teach anyone to kill the non-believer. You take stuff out of context. It says not to fight anyoone who does not fight you. So fighting is only allowed when someone is attacking you.
If Islam had been preaching the killing of non-believers then during the days of the Otoman Empire (600 years) when much of Europe was under the Otomans all of Europe would have been killed. If Islam had been preaching the killing of non-believers then during Mongols in India for 800 years all of India would have been killed. As you can see Indians remained Hindu during the Muslim rule. Europe remained Christian during the Muslim rule and Spain that did become a Muslim country only did so after 200 years of Muslim rule. And that is slow convertion as a result of people wanting to become Muslims and inter-marrying into Muslim families. The Spanish Muslim empire lasted 1000 years. And yes there was a time when people were forced to change religion. Its called the Spanish Inquisition. But that's Christianity for you.

Nope. The Christians practiced that for centuries. The Witch Trials, The Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, the conversions of Northern Europe, and expansion into the American West, the current War on Terror...none of them anything other than an excuse for Christians to go out and kill NON-Christians, the current activity being a way to condition the population to the idea so that all NON-Christinas in the US can be rounded up and put to death as well, somply for NOT being Christinans. The Idea of a HOLY WAR didn't even exist until the Christians started it in the fourth century under the Roman Emperor Constantine who decreed that the whole of the World should be converted, or put to the sword.

Though Catholics and some Protestants have executed those considered heretics in the past (though this has now been centuries past), and other religions and sects have sacrificed lives in the name of their religion (Hindu 'sati' practice of burning widows with their deceased husbands, which was actually stopped by Christian missionary outcry; as well as Mayan human sacrifice and such), yet in the 21st Century there is no mainstream world religion who has more adherents who condone the death of those not of their religion than Islam. And if one explores and understands the roots and core teachings of Islam, its quest is world domination, through conversion or through the sword. Do you believe Islam is a religion of peace?

Traditional Islam, especially the Shari'a, the law taught through the Quran teaches the opposite, in fact. It says that you should welcome the outsider into your home and into your community.
Though, sadly, there have been times in history when Religion has been perverted to teach "kill the infidel", like in Islam, Christianity, and even Judaism.

Though the Catholics and some protestants done this killing of no believers, it is not taught by the Holy Bible.
They did this according to their own interest.
See how the Apostles of Jesus Christ spread the Gospel (Acts of Apostles). They were persecuted by others but they did not do any thing in return but prayed for them.

Nope, I think islam is believe in justice, and when they have to kill people (especially during war) they have to do it without pain ( torture and humilliation is banned).
but I think most religion are infidel for those who not believer ?

oh really -- ever thought of looking within urself?. take a peep inside ur own self and then when you find a clean slate, then say the same about others. people with much bloodier hands shouldnt be pointing their fingers at others. and btw, if you are so interested in knowing which infidel it is talking about, then why dont you buy a copy of Qu'ran and go to a learned muslim scholar. that way you can educate yourself more about Islam.
Live and Let Live.

This is a misrepresentation by some people who twist their religion into saying it's okay. It doesn't say this. Besides, I'm sure you can find a passage in the bible that can be construed to mean the same if you looked hard enough.
