Also Bible 5:20 makes no sense but Qur'an 5;20-26 is right there.
I stand corrected. Here's the text:
“And when Musa said to his people: O my people! Remember the favour of Allah upon you when He raised prophets among you, and made you kings and gave you what He had not given to any among the nations. O my people! enter the holy land which Allah has prescribed for you and turn not on your backs, for then, you will turn back losers. They said: O Musa! surely there is a strong race in it, and we will on no account enter it until they go out from it: so, if they go out from it, then, surely we will enter...Go therefore thou and thy Lord, then fight you both; surely we will here sit down. He said: My Lord! I have no control upon any but my own self and my brother; therefore make a separation between us and the transgressing people. He said: So it shall surely be forbidden to them for forty years, they shall wander about in the land; therefore do not grieve for the transgressing people.”
Seems to me from reading this (I admit I don't completely grasp the significance of this) that the Jews were commanded by God via Musa to take their promised land by force from those who inhabited it, and they refused unless God cleared them out first... Sounds like, therefore, the Jews never really did earn their land.
If willingness to kill Arabs, however, is all it takes to justify their possession of that land, well, the Jewish God must finally be very pleased with his chosen master race.
Update: I forgot to include:
KILL THEM ARAB BABIES FOR JESUS! Glory!

O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. [al-Ma'idah 5:51.11]
Actually, this is clearly a case of misinterpretation. A more correct interpretation of the word that is being translated as "friend" here is "guardian". Mostly, this is a warning not to trust Jews and Christians to act as protectors of the faith.
As for the other quotes, yeah, it can be pretty grim. I think you'd find that some of that would be tempered with other quotes that demand that Christians and Jews be tolerated, as long as they pay their taxes, but for Johncullisonists, we're largely screwed. In some cases, however, translational errors are present (a jihad, for example, is a struggle, many of which are internal), so some of your quotes are clearly out of context as a result.
But as long as we're attacking religious beliefs, why not bring up some Talmudic quotes against Christians and gentiles? Or how about Christians' actions during the Crusades, against each other in Europe, etc.? And the Old Testament is replete with the holocausts committed by Jews. Simple fact: None of the monotheistic religions is innocent. It is the pinnacle of hypocrisy for Christians and Jews to fault Muslims for their beliefs regarding war.
