Salaam Alaykum
Before I begin, ignore the ignorant people who have posted here (not all, but most). I am an American Muslim who was born and raised here in America and I am a revert to Islam, so I was never Muslim. Also, I have NO ancestors from the Middle East (if I do, they are EXTREMELY distant), and I myself am not Middle Eastern. I was a practicing Christian for most of my life, I practiced Christianity AGINAST the will of my family. If you want me to "go back to where I came from", then know that I'm already there.
On to your question:
Hadith aren't needed. Use logic, a great creation of Allah. Below are some arguments that'll help your cause, Insha'Allah:
1) Prophet Muhammad (as) said "I have been ordered to fight the unbelievers until they revert to Islam" (or something along those lines), yes. BUT, know that the word "unbeliever" was most likely supposed to be translated as "Pagan" (Zalimun). The Pagans of the Prophet's (as) time were trying to kill the Muslims simply for being Muslim. Thus, the Pagans who the Prophet (as) was ordered to fight were the Pagans who were trying to kill innocent Muslims. If these Pagans reverted to Islam, then they wouldn't be hostile against the Muslims. Is it wrong to defend yourself against the people trying to kill you!?
2) Prophet Muhammad (as) said to kill the Apostates, yes. HOWEVER, know that this was one of those things that only applied to his time. Back during the Prophet's (as) time, any Apostate would join up with the Pagans and help the Pagans kill the Muslims. They would be a great help because they would be just like Benedict Arnold. Thus, the Prophet Muhammad's (as) order to kill any Apostate (of his time) was simply an order to kill a traitor. Is it wrong to kill a traitor!?
3) Muslims are commanded to kill non-believers and Apostates? WRONG! The Qur'an says: "...Whoever kills a man, lest it be because the man was spreading chaos throughout the land or killing innocent people, it would be as if he killed all of mankind" (I.E. a bad thing) (Qur'an 5:32). This obviously shows that Apostates, along with other people (including non-believers), are to be killed only when they are murdering innocent people and/or spreading chaos throughout the land and NOT simply because they are Apostates or non-believers.
4) Surah 9 says to "kill the unbelievers"? WRONG! What is translated as "unbelievers" in Surah 9 of the Qur'an is really the Arabic word "Zalimun", which referred to the Pagans of Arabia. Surah 9 was revealed because the Pagans broke a peace treaty with the Muslims and killed innocent Muslims. Thus, in Surah 9, Allah was telling the Muslims of the Prophet Muhammad's time (as) to kill all the Pagans since the Pagans want to kill you. Is it evil to kill those who kill your mother, father, brother, and/or sister, and then try to kill you!?
5) Prophet Muhammad (as) was a pedophile? WRONG! There is strong evidence that the Prophet Muhammad (as) married Aisha at age 16, but let's ignore that for now and pretend that he married her at age 9.
For one thing, he never had sex with her! Many non-believers will say that in a Hadith, Aisha says "the Prophet consummated our marriage that day (while she was playing with her dolls)". However, a business deal is consummated without sex. A President is inaugurarted (which is also consummation) without sex. A Muslim marriage is consummated without sex, also. Obviously what happened was that the marriage was consummated. NO sex was involved whatsoever.
There is a Hadith (that has a shaky foundation) that states that Aisha was in her MID-20s (WAY after being 9 years old) when she had sex with the Prophet Muhammad (as). However, this Hadith is very shaky and probably isn't true, which means that the Prophet Muhammad (as) NEVER had sex with Aisha!
The Prophet Muhammad (as) married Aisha for political reasons. As was the custom back then, marrying the daughter of a potential ally (whom Abu Bakr was) was the only way you could consummate (NO sex involved here) this alliance. Abu Bakr was the most powerful man in Arabia at the time, and this is why Muhammad (as) married Aisha. Of course, this isn't the custom now, but it was back in 7th century Arabia. According to the famous non-Muslim Islamic Scholar, William Montgomery Watt, it is unfair to compare Muhammad (as) with today's culture, as the culture of his time was different. William M. Watt even defends this marriage, and he was a non-Muslim!
If this was truly something pedophile, then why did Aisha love Muhammad (as) so much? Why did Aisha's mother and father accept this marriage? Why did NONE of the Prophet Muhammad's (as) enemies (who knew of his wives) use his marriage with Aisha against him?
6) Prophet Muhammad (as) was a sex-freak? WRONG! If the Prophet Muhammad (as) was a sex-freak, then why did he only have 2 living children? 1 child was from his first wife (his other children from the same wife died as children or in childbirth), and the other (who died as a child) was from his last wife. If someone is a sex freak and has 11 wives just for sex (even though he married these wives for social, business, religious, military, political reasons, etc.), then he would have more than one child! Condoms weren't created back then, so its impossible that none of these wives bore him children! They weren't barren, they could've got pregnant and have had children!
Also, the reason why the Prophet Muhammad (as) had 11 wives wasn't out of love! Many of his wives were widows, and they would've suffered because of 7th century Arabian laws, which stated that widows had no rights unless they married again (Islam abolished this, by the way). So the Prophet Muhammad (as) "gave" these women their rights by marrying them. Also, the Prophet Muhammad (as) married some of his wives for political reasons (as defended above) and he also married one women to prove a point about Islam. He married his adopted son's ex-wife to show the Muslims that it was OK to marry your adopted-son's ex-wife (the Pagans forbade this). Maria the Copt was a slave-girl who was sent to the Prophet Muhammad (as) as a reply to the letter Muhammad (as) sent to a king.
The only wives the Prophet Muhammad (as) married out of love alone was Maria the Copt (he set her free and married her) and Khadijah (he loved her and she was his only wife for most of his life). Notice that, if Prophet Muhammad (as) was a sex freak, he wouldn't have had only one wife for more than 20 years until his wife's death, as was the case with him and Khadijah! Note that all but two of the Prophet Muhammad's (as) wives after Khadijah were older than him and were alive and much more beautiful while Muhammad (as) was married to Khadijah! Surely he would've married these women, also, since in Pagan Arabia you were "allowed" to have unlimited wives (Islam set the "wife-cap", allowing only up to 4 wives).
If you need any more arguments, contact me through my profile. May Allah help you in smashing these lies against Islam!

Salam :) I'm a Muslim youngster dwelling in Canada. I put on hijab alhamdullilah and it is for probably the most facet approved right here on account that i are living in a huge town with a colossal Muslim populace. I do get the few ignorant feedback and idiots at college even though who ask stuff like "yo obtained a bomb underneath there hahaha". But the toughest facet is being distinct out of your peers. Being a Muslim, events, alcohol courting boys dressed in revealing apparel and many others is haram, and whilst I do not wish to do this besides, it may be a bit awkward to have got to provide an explanation for why I do not do it to persons who recall it only a facet of being a teen and its natural to them. Muslims dwelling in Muslim international locations without doubt have it simpler relating to becoming in. And with meals it may be a bit elaborate however I continuously attempt to learn the label if I'm now not definite of the parts. But I would not wanna be some other faith regardless of how complex it will get and the way distinct I suppose from each person else, I'm comfortable to be Muslim :)

I cannot give you an answer on your religious history, however, I want you to know that I admire the fact that you are holding true to your beliefs and trying to enlighten the world. I understand that there are bad apples in every religion, race, group, gender etc. But you cannot discount an entire catergory for the actions of some. So if it makes you feel better you don't have to prove anything to me about Allah or Mohammed.

hmm,i need a bit of time sister to look
“For the sake of Allaah” excludes one whom he kills as a hadd punishment or by way of legal retaliation (qisaas), because whoever is killed by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on the battle was intending to kill the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
It is not known that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) killed anyone among the mushrikeen with his own hand apart from Ubayy ibn Khalaf.

your message makes be so very sad. i am sorry you have been brainwashed like so many israelis and christians with these fantasties. this ongoing mythology made up by devious men for their own satisfaction and profit. it is all to control the people, the masses. i pray to the unknowable that you find the true way. that the truth is nobody knows. live out your limited time for good and surely for your best good. the practices and rules of the abrahamic relegions are only designed to make you a slave to priest, rabbis and popes. they are the truly evil ones. save yourself and live. buddhism doesn't claim a god at all. it is more like psychology and learning personal insight and goodness. but you can learn more from watching wild animals and insects than listening to powerful men in robes who lord over you. they are evil and smug. you are not like that. you should discard them.
