Quote Jesus telling his followers to kill non followers.
The quote you all are misrepresenting is...

"The message is: La ilaha illa Allah (none has the right to be worshipped except Allah)."
Now let us correct some mistakes in the 'question' itself. There is no such a meaning in the Quran, ordering or even permitting the Muslims to attack innocent people whether they are Christians, Jews, or any other faith for that matter.
Combat is only ordered against those who are attacking or killing innocent Muslims or fighting against the established Muslim state.
Now here is the answer -
The word used most often in Quran, that is so often mistranslated as kill; slay; or slaughter is not jihad, it is Qital and if you look to the Arabic, you will quickly understand this word in today's usage would clearly be combat.
Naturally, just as here in the U.S. we must stand up for righteousness and strive to prevent oppression, aggression and tyranny. This is the proper usage and understanding for this term, as you will discover while passing through the Tafsir and explanations by top scholars today.
Scholars of Quran tsay that the verses dealing with this topic are specific and not intended to imply a general meaning for just anyone to decide to go around combating non-Muslims. The early Muslims had been driven out of their homes and turned out into the desert to starve. After finally, relocating to Medina, verses came in Quran instructing them to make hajj (pilgrimage) back to Makkah. Finding their way blocked and after several years of making agreements and treaties that the others continually broke, the Muslims were at last, told they could now fight in combat against the tyrants who had so horribly mistreated and abused them in the past. However, this would only be acceptable to Allah if they remained within very specific limitations. The word "Qital" in Arabic in this instance refers to "combat" rather than what some have used "kill" because the word "kill" is far to general, while the word "combat" appropriately describes what is intended by the usage in this passage.
It should also be noted the usage of the word "Fitnah" in the same verse denotes a horrible condition, not unlike what we find today when there is terrorism and tyranny against the moral and just society at large. It would be easy to properly understand the meaning as, "Engage them in combat, even killing them, until the state of "Fitnah" (terrorism) no longer exists in the society and people are free to worship Allah by their choice."
We can see these verse are not designed to promote terrorism, but rather these are very orders from Above to the Muslims to be the first of those who stand out aggressively against all forms of terrorism and oppression.
Once this is in place, there really isn't a question anymore, due to the necessity as we see today, to prevent and subdue enemies of freedom, liberty and justice. In other words, we could easily say Allah ordered believers in the Quran to wage combat against terrorism - 14 centuries ago. And the "struggle against oppression, terrorism and tyranny" in the Arabic language, it is called, "Jihad."

People forget that after the fall of Rome it was Muslims that carried the torch of civilization, education and accepting multicultural societies. To say they are where their at today is solely based on their religion dogma is a complete fallacy. Christians were just as brutal in the middle ages as anyone today. If you haven't noticed Christian zealots killing good people here in the U.S. despite their "positive accepting dogma" you're wearing blinders.
So I guess we can add this to my above list....
D) Making hypocritical decisions based on "widely believed facts" rather then bothering to make an effort to first educate yourself, then think objectively.
Which of course is people making up facts to suit an opinion as opposed to the other way around. Which I believe is
quite telling personally.
When a society is lacking and has weak basic education its easy for snake oil salesmen to take advantage of a population..... I mean....even here people are going to vote for
TRUMP! ...nuff said
