IMHO, the Qur'an does not command the "slaughter" of anyone. It does permit fighting in some cases, but not the outright slaughter of innocent people.

From the Qur'Anic verse I posted:

"for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter."

I suppose the issue of who is and who is not innocent is determined by God. On the other hand, I have seen no evidence that innocents cannot be "slaughtered," as well.
