In need of a more humbleness. Why condemning the Theistic position makes no sense.

And what about Buddhists? and Shintoists? and Mormons? and Shamans?and Atheists? does Allah allows them to marry them as well?

Because last time I checked Islam, it is permissible, though being makruh tahrimi, for Muslim males to marry the females from among the People of the Book(Christian and Jewish women, but then again what about all the others I mentioned?) and only if they must be chaste and all of the children must be brought up Muslim.
But that's because its a misogynistic rule since women are seen as object of breed because when the female is the Muslim and the male belongs to someone else. Oh that's when it comes interesting.
Islamic scholars generally forbid Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men. This prohibition serves to preserve the Islamic faith from dilution and expand it, within societies which are patriarchal but multi-faith. It effectively ensures that over many generations, providing that the society is patriarchal, Islam would naturally gain in adherents relative to other co-existing religions, through its ability to secure the adherence of all offspring from mixed marriages. In effect, all children of any mixed-marriages involving Muslims are guaranteed to be raised as Muslim.

That's a different topic. I hate personally the whole marriage thing in Islam. I know Sunnis would not give off their daughters to Shias more often then not and this one reason I couldn't marry a person which I and her were in love with each other with.

I wish there was no such rule. Islam definitely has it flaws. But what it certainly doesn't do is command to kill those it tells you you can marry.

And the point of what I said, is those verses, have a context. And with context of rest of verses, they are absurd if you interpret to mean to kill all non adherents to Islam.
