Sorry Sage dear, as I have been encouraged by the members of this site to be somewhat polite to you and no longer mocking at your ignorance, I have decided to do so.
Now, if you dare read the verses YOU posted most of them said fight the "disbelievers"...now that was NOT taken in a broad sense it was specific, the Muslims were enduring an onslaught by their Meccan neighbours (who were not Muslim and were trying to dissolve the religion for political purposes at the time) thus God had given Muslims the right to fight against them. God, also made it clear to fight those who "persecute" you and ruled that Muslims were not allowed to be over-aggressive.
Now many many evangelical racist sorts do try to distort the meanings of the Qu'ran by doing something as silly as picking 1 single sentence out of entire chapter!
Do you know that when the Muslims were being persecuted by the Meccans at the time a Christian king even gave them refuge and there were countless alliances with the Jews?
The Muslims were being slaughtered and fought against for the same reason they are now--political purposes and power. So God had given them the right to defend themselves. Doesn't sound so horrible to me because even your fellow Christian brethern at the time had offered the Muslims refuge.
Now see that is someone who does their homework.
And of course the verses revealed in Mecca were regarding different issues than the verses revealed in Medina, because it was when the Muslims were in Medina that they were being engaged in war while in Mecca they were dealing with persecution, torture and humiliation, not full-out combat.
So, what homework were you doing?
It's like reading ANY book SAGE, one can not just read a single sentence and hope to get the just of the book, one must read it cover to cover and then they can get a clear understanding.
And by the way, when God refers to the "disbelievers", in the Qu'ran that is not regarding Christianity and Judaism. God refers to Christians and Jews as "Believers" and people of the book. We are even permitted to eat food that is slaughtered by them. So, once again much of your information is taken out of context and you must read at least a whole chapter to know what is being talked about and why.
The reason that many of us believe and/or convert to Islam is simply because it is based on reason and practical sense.
Do you know over 600 000 Iraqis have been killed since Iraq war? Should we blame that on the Christians, most who are reason-based wouldn't, yet according to your philosphy we should. Do you realize we wouldn't even have enough room on this entire site to post each of these Iraqi victims' names.
