I hear people all the time say that Islam is a peaceful religion. I've read the Koran and I can't find where it teaches muslims to love people and to live in peace with them - especially Christians and Jews. What verses indicate the Islam is a peaceful religion? What verses say to live peaceably with Christians and Jews?

Tolerance is a basic principle of Islam. It is a religious moral duty. Muslims are tolerant with their enemies, let alone their fellow Muslims. Islam teaches tolerance on all levels: individual, groups and states. It should be a political and legal requirement.
Tolerance is the mechanism that upholds human rights, pluralism (including cultural pluralism), and the rule of law. The Qur'an says very clearly: (To every People have We appointed rites and ceremonies which they must follow, let them not then dispute with you on the matter, but do invite (them) to your Lord: for you are assuredly on the Right Way. If they do wrangle with you, say, 'God knows best what it is you are doing.' 'God will judge between you on the Day of Judgment concerning the matters in which you differ') (Al-Hajj 21:76-69).

It does not say that. It says to kill the infidel -- basically anyone who is not Muslim. Hence, suicide bombers, terrorists, etc.

"We believe in what has been sent down to us and what was sent down to you. Our God and your God are one and we submit to Him." (Qur'an, 29:46)
