The word Islam means "Peace" and a Muslim means the one who submits his will to Allah.
So all the bits in the Quran that say to kill the unbelievers aren't really there then?
Btw, Islam actually means "submit" not "peace".
And that was stated by a Muslim on this very forum.
Islam comes from the root word "Salaam" which means Peace.
Whenever a Muslim meets another Muslim.He first greets him by saying "Assalamualikum" which roughly means May Peace be unto you.
Regarding your main doubt please read below :-
Misquoted Verse #6
"And slay them wherever ye catch them.." [Noble Quran 2:191]
A classic and popular example of what Muslim scholars, like Dr. Jamal Badawi, call a 'cut and paste' approach. Everything becomes so much easier for the Anti-Islamists when they remove the context. The solution for the Muslim is to simply replace the verse in its context:
"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loves not transgressors. And kill them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for persecution and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, kill them. Such is the reward of those who reject faith. But if they cease, God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God; but if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. The prohibited month, for the prohibited month, and so for all things prohibited, there is the law of equality. If then any one transgresses the prohibition against you, transgress ye likewise against him. But fear (the punishment of) God, and know that God is with those who restrain themselves." [Noble Quran 2:190-194]
Hope it clears your doubt.
