All Univeraslistic religions boast that their way is the only way.
When the religion is strong and young it tries to force its opinion on everyone.
When it wears itself out with murder and mayhem it starts to relax and integrate with other "non-believers".
Then the cycle starts up again with some new belief system.

Worshiping any one other than The Supreme One Unique Deity appears as a sin in all the Holy Books of all the Religions. Why pick up Muslims only. And every religion wishes, and plans to enhance its number by preaching to others. Why pick up Muslims only. Jews are not preaching for the time being only.

Thats not true, Muslims are not allowed to kill non-Muslims. Muslim should live with non-Muslims in peace and thats what Islam has taught
Prophet Muhammad pbuh said:
Anyone who kills a Non-Muslim who had become our ally will not smell the fragrance of Paradise
2:256 There is no compulsion in religion, for the right way is clearly from the wrong way. Whoever therefore rejects the forces of evil and believes in God, he has taken hold of a support most unfailing, which shall never give way, for God is All Hearing and Knowing.
16:82 But if they turn away from you, (O Prophet remember that) your only duty is a clear delivery of the Message (entrusted to you).

yes,islam do have lots of teachings and principles..but,it never means that islam is hard..and yes,we do proud that Quran has never changed since 1400years ago..
and you are saying that muslims become terrorist just in order to make everyone as muslims..yes,they do..but,in Islam..it not in that way..
we only can do in that condition only if we are forced to do so..
e.g.,why don't we blame Israelians for their rudeness in Palestine?..they used to kill people includes old folks and children..
but,in Islam,that such of moral values are prohibited..

well, reading the quran is not enough , I guess you need to understand it the quran says who wants to believe he should believe and who wants to be free of believe it is his choice. Also the quran says that the believes should not be affected or should not worry about the non - believers and that is why we have heaven and hell.

Let me analyse your question part by part
Sinners....
Dear brother you say that Quran says non muslims, jews idol worshippers are sinners..you have to note that Quran calls for the whole of the man kind as below....
O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become Al-Muttaqoon ( Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #21)
Allah calls "Oh mankind" and not as "Oh Muslims".. Quran commands whole of the mankind to Worship One God. and not commanding Muslims alone to worship Single God. It commands whole of the mankind to worship One God and the mankind includes idol worshippers, jews , christians etc., So if the mankind disobeys the command of their Creator , and takes false Gods, does idol worship etc., then that is the mistake of the mankind or the God ?
Answer for Part 1
Regarding the killing of non muslims..
A few selected verses from the Qur’an are often misquoted to perpetuate the myth that Islam promotes violence, and exhorts its followers to kill those outside the pale of Islam.
1. Verse from Surah Taubah
The following verse from Surah Taubah is very often quoted by critics of Islam, to show that Islam promotes violence, bloodshed and brutality:
"Kill the mushriqeen (pagans, polytheists, kuffar) where ever you find them."
[Al-Qur’an 9:5]
2. Context of verse is during battlefield
Critics of Islam actually quote this verse out of context. In order to understand the context, we need to read from verse 1 of this surah. It says that there was a peace treaty between the Muslims and the Mushriqs (pagans) of Makkah. This treaty was violated by the Mushriqs of Makkah. A period of four months was given to the Mushriqs of Makkah to make amends. Otherwise war would be declared against them. Verse 5 of Surah Taubah says:
"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is oft-forgiving, Most merciful."
[Al-Qur’an 9:5]
This verse is quoted during a battle.
3. Example of war between America and Vietnam
We know that America was once at war with Vietnam. Suppose the President of America or the General of the American Army told the American soldiers during the war: "Wherever you find the Vietnamese, kill them". Today if I say that the American President said, "Wherever you find Vietnamese, kill them" without giving the context, I will make him sound like a butcher. But if I quote him in context, that he said it during a war, it will sound very logical, as he was trying to boost the morale of the American soldiers during the war.
4. Verse 9:5 quoted to boost morale of Muslims during battle
Similarly in Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 the Qur’an says, "Kill the Mushriqs where ever you find them", during a battle to boost the morale of the Muslim soldiers. What the Qur’an is telling Muslim soldiers is, don’t be afraid during battle; wherever you find the enemies kill them.
So it is clear that the verse (9:5) has to be considered to the context and not as such.
Answer for Part 2
You have also misunderstood that every muslim should fight to make others muslim. Please refer to the below verse of Quran in which Allah says:
"There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghoot and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower. " (Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #256)
But again if you feel that Islam is spread through sword, then proceed reading below....
Muslims ruled Spain for 800 years.
Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. The Muslims in Spain never used the sword to force the people to convert. Later the Christian Crusaders came to Spain and wiped out the Muslims. There was not a single Muslim in Spain who could openly give the adhan, that is the call for prayers.
14 million Arabs are Coptic Christians.
Muslims were the lords of Arabia for 1400 years. For a few years the British ruled, and for a few years the French ruled. Overall, the Muslims ruled Arabia for 1400 years. Yet today, there are 14 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians i.e. Christians since generations. If the Muslims had used the sword there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian.
More than 80% non-Muslims in India.
The Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years. If they wanted, they had the power of converting each and every non-Muslim of India to Islam. Today more than 80% of the population of India are non-Muslims. All these non-Muslim Indians are bearing witness today that Islam was not spread by the sword.
Indonesia and Malaysia.
Indonesia is a country that has the maximum number of Muslims in the world. The majority of people in Malaysia are Muslims. May one ask, "Which Muslim army went to Indonesia and Malaysia?"
East Coast of Africa.
Similarly, Islam has spread rapidly on the East Coast of Africa. One may again ask, if Islam was spread by the sword, "Which Muslim army went to the East Coast of Africa?"
Thomas Carlyle.
The famous historian, Thomas Carlyle, in his book "Heroes and Hero worship", refers to this misconception about the spread of Islam: "The sword indeed, but where will you get your sword? Every new opinion, at its starting is precisely in a minority of one. In one man’s head alone. There it dwells as yet. One man alone of the whole world believes it, there is one man against all men. That he takes a sword and try to propagate with that, will do little for him. You must get your sword! On the whole, a thing will propagate itself as it can."
Answer for Part 3
"Unchanged bible"
May i know by what proof you say the term "Unchanged bible". Bible in its purest form is called Injeel and reveled to (as christians say Jesus) Easa (Let peace be upon him) in Aramic Language. But the actual source of Ingeel is not found anywhere in this world (If so show me the proof), whereas it had undergone various additions and editions, versions and words of preists, fathers..etc is only found now with old testament ,new testament etc..Can you disagree with this. Then how could you confess "Unchanged bible"
Allah knows the best !
