Atheists, I understand how much this question annoys you because this is not what you believe, and you believe that someone who asks this is retarded.
For me, as a muslim, when you say the Qur'an says kill infidels I think you are retarded.
The verses you refer to were revealed in the middle of a battle after years of the polytheists killing the followers of Muhammad.
If verses were revealed in WW2 what do you think they would say? Kill the Nazis, maybe?! Or do you think they would say turn the other cheek and get slaughtered?

You do realize this has been asked a million times, right? Is it sooo hard to search for this question and waste your time reading all those answers... I mean, really. But, hey, if you want to use up 5 points to rant, go for it. It's not going to get you anywhere.

I understand that the Qur'an doesn't say anything about killing infidels. But that's how it seems to be interpreted, and that's a problem.
Fair or not, the western interpretation of Islam is "kill all infidels." That's not what Islam is, and I know that, but radical Muslims (your bin Ladens, Ahmadinejads, et al.) are mostly, if not completely, responsible for this interpretation.
Also, to a couple of answerers here (Yoda Green, Sapient, I'm looking at you), you could stand to be a bit more charitable and back off just a bit. Let's not bite the honest enquirers.

you're complicated (a million) what you think of evolution is with what it surely is and (2) your very own anecdotal reviews for technological understanding. (a million) the theory of Evolution holds that everyone existence descended from a easy ancestral background which may be verified with the help of easy inherited characteristics. We did not descend FROM monkeys, monkeys and human beings the two descended from a easy ancestor. The genetic characteristics that we share strongly recommend the link, inspite of the shown fact that that's not magnificent that we are diverse from one yet another when you consider that our course from the easy ancestor grow to be diverse. If those paths the place precisely the comparable, we does not have become 2 difference species. (2) Anecdotal reviews are actually not information, rather not while experienced first hand in a exceptionally biased way.

Sorry, I think you meant to send someone a personal e-mail of complaint. This has come out on a public forum in full view of thousands of people it doesn't refer to. Thought you might like to know.

Well, does the Qur'an say kill infidels or not? Do you think words from God should say that? Or that an almighty god would consider his creations infidels? I digress....
