I don't see any ambiguity in what the Koran says about either Allah, or non believers. It is no less ambiguous nor more violent than certain offenting books in the Bible.

Umm - Jews (who are the subject and authors of the OT) have not been slaughtering anyone in the name of religion for several thousands of years. Muslim jihadis, OTOH, are doing it as we speak and have been consistently for the last 1400 years.
You don't see the difference here?

How about showing me the passages? The new testament is pretty clear about relations with your enemies (non believing infidels). No mention of cutting their heads off with pocketknives anywhere. Nor are they blessed and assured heaven for fighting infidels. Clearly this has not always been followed, but the command is to love your enemies. Anything less is sin.
Luk 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Luk 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Luk 6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not [to take thy] coat also.
