Is it any statement on the Quaran states that,if someone won't agree to convert into Islams they have to excecute them?
Then why all those arabic countries have non muslim citizens.

https://quran.com/9/5
"And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."

Some Muslims are good DESPITE their religion and will not kill another human being regardless of what ALLAH (or any other imaginary God) 'said' in the HOLY book.

Hmm this reminds me of, i don't know, Moses? Then you may join Jews, Christians and Muslims together because they are all descendants from Abraham, and they all abhorred polytheism (that was the era when humanity went from poly- to mono-theism). If you read the bible you will find many passages like that... By no accident Islam pays respect to the likes of Jesus and the prophets from Judaism...

"In the name of religion" many atrocities have been committed in the past, but (genuine) religion is not about committing atrocities...

I will cite these, just for reference:

Quote from: https://www.unification.net/ws/

Those who act kindly in this world will have kindness.
1.Islam. Qur'an 39.10

God enjoins justice, kindness, and charity to one's kindred, and forbids indecency, abomination, and oppression. He admonishes you so that you may take heed.
6.Islam. Qur'an 16.90

Treat people in such a way and live amongst them in such a manner that if you die they will weep over you; alive they crave for your company.
10.Islam (Shiite). Nahjul Balagha, Saying 9

Anas and 'Abdullah reported God's Messenger as saying, "All [human] creatures are God's children, and those dearest to God are those who treat His children kindly."
19.Islam. Hadith of Baihaqi

A man once asked the Prophet what was the best thing in Islam, and the latter replied, "It is to feed the hungry and to give the greeting of peace both to those one knows and to those one does not know."
21.Islam. Hadith of Bukhari

The best deed of a great man is to forgive and forget.
2.Islam (Shiite). Nahjul Balagha, Saying 201

If you efface and overlook and forgive, then lo! God is forgiving, merciful.
4.Islam. Qur'an 64.14

Moses son of Imran said, "My Lord, who is the greatest of Thy servants in Thy estimation?" and received the reply, "The one who forgives when he is in a position of power."
11.Islam. Hadith of Baihaqi

Better and more rewarding is God's reward to those who believe and put their trust in Him: who avoid gross sins and indecencies and, when angered, are willing to forgive... Let evil be rewarded by like evil, but he who forgives and seeks reconciliation shall be rewarded by God. He does not love the wrongdoers.... True constancy lies in forgiveness and patient forbearance.
12.Islam. Qur'an 42.36-43

It may be that God will ordain love between you and those whom you hold as enemies. For God has power over all things; and God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
8.Islam. Qur'an 60.7

The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo!, he between whom and you there was enmity shall become as though he were a bosom friend.
But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save a person of great good fortune.
16.Islam. Qur'an 41.34-35

According to Anas, after the Messenger of God said, "Help your brother whether he is oppressor or oppressed," Anas replied to him, "O Messenger of God, a man who is oppressed I am ready to help, but how does one help an oppressor?" "By hindering him doing wrong," he said.
20.Islam. Hadith of Bukhari

There is a lot more. Judging an entire religion from ignorance only leads to hatred. Perhaps the problem lies elsewhere...
Also think from a historic viewpoint. What was around by the time the religion was founded? And what were the customs and culture it replaced?

Since there are all kinds of opposite sayings in Islam - http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm - we can see that when Muslims use the above posted goodness, they are really using it only with other Muslims. But when they use the things at my link, they are using them against non-Muslims, because it says that they are supposed to deceive other people who are not Muslims. So the above post is simply part of the deception Muslims are supposed to use on non-Muslims. And they are doing it by posting them the way they do.

Cool
