Even if Islam did, without question, demand that Muslims kill or convert infidels, that does not necessarily matter any more,

It does if they practice it which they are doing around the world every minute of every day.

It is followers of Islam who cutting heads off on world wide TV, using suicide bombers, flying planes into buildings, slaughtering Christians in the Sudan, kidnapping and cutting heads off in the Philippines, executing honor killings of their own sisters,daughters and wives and the list goes on.

Everyone of those verses are still in the Koran and in practice in countries and regions controlled by them.

The actions of Muslims in these places around the world speak for themselves and they speak to the truth.

You are in denial, or a follower of Islam.

Who are "they"? Do you think that every Muslim practices it every minute of every day or only a percentage of them? And if it's just a percentage, why are we also treating the percentage who don't as if they do?

Absolutely. The particular strains of militant Islam that are responsible are a big problem and deserved attack. But all Muslims are not followers of militant Islam. Roll your history books back a few centuries and see what Christians were up to when dealing with Jews, American Indians, and even Orthodox Christians and heretics like the Cathars. It wasn't a Muslim who coined the phrase, "Kill them all and God will know his own."

Everyone of those verses are still in the Koran and in practice in countries and regions controlled by them.

Have you ever read the Old Testament? All of those verses are still there, too. The Jews kiss the Torah during their services yet manage to resist the urge to stone homosexuals, mediums, and disobedient sons to death has the Torah commands. How do you think that's possible?

The actions of Muslims in these places around the world speak for themselves and they speak to the truth.

If the actions of militant Mulsims in those places speak for themselves, then I think the actions of peaceful and friendly Muslims around the world should also speack for themselves. And, yes, such people exist.

You are in denial, or a follower of Islam.

Are those the only two options you can wrap your mind around? How about I'm a Christian who takes the idea of loving my neighbor as myself seriously when it comes to innocent people who mean neither you nor me any harm. If you want to argue that following a false religion, alone, is sufficient for persecution of otherwise innocent people, then I would not only wonder what you think of people who follow other religions that you think are false but wonder how you are any different than the mullahs who want to kill all the infidels because, well, they're infidels.
