Al-Baqara 2:191 is one of the ayah often quoted out-of-context; high on a
list I call "the usual suspects".
Read properly IN CONTEXT those we are told to kill are those who have
invaded and who are oppressing the believers.
I suspect most readers would find themselves with exactly this same belief
if they were living in such an environ, however much they may point an
accusing finger at the Qur'an from their armchairs.

In surah 73:10 God tells Mohammed to be patient with his opponents "Be
patient with what they say, and part from them courteously." While in
surah 2:191 God orders him to kill his opponents "Kill them wherever you
find them, and drive them out from wherever they drove you out..."
In surah 2:256 God tells Mohammed not to impose Islam by force "There is
no compulsion in religion." While in verse 193 God tells him to kill
whoever rejects Islam "Fight (kill) them until there is no persecution and
the religion is God's."
In surah 29:46 God tells Mohammed to speak nicely to people of the Book
(Christians and Jews) "Argue with people of the Book, other then evil
doers, only by means of what are better! and say, we believe in what has
been sent down to us and sent down to you. Our God is the same as your
God, and we are surrendered to him." While in surah 9:29 God tells him to
fight the people of the Book, "Fight those who do not believe in God and
the last day...and fight People of the Book, who do not accept the
religion of truth (Islam) until they pay tribute by hand, being inferior."
