The Quran is the book that says to kill kill kill kill in the name of Allah! Current and Past History prooves it to be true!
Ok, There is a problem with the missionaries reasoning, first you are taking the Quranic verses out of their historical context second you do not have the intention of making a making a honest investigation. Therefore I will have to do that for you.
9:5 Once the sacred months are over, you shall kill the idol worshipers whenever you encounter them, and capture them, and besiege them, and keep after them. However, if they repent, and observe the salat prayers and zakat charity, then you shall pardon them.
Unfortunately this verse of the Quran is being quoted out of the historical context. Has the Christians will notice that Surah At-Taubah (9), is the only Surah in the Quran which does not begin with the formula "In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful." Every other Surah of the Quran beggins with this formula. There is a reason for this, not because the compiler of the Quran forgot to write this formula in the Quran, but because its was a WARNING directly from Allah to the pagans in delivered in very strong terms. The name "Taubah" means "Repentance" from sins/ wrong deeds. The reason for this strong warning and was that the Pagans unilateraly again and again transgressed the treaties they had signed with the Muslims, with in 3 Years they had transgressed at 6 peace treaties which they signed with the Muslims. And when the last time they broke the treaty regulations Allah sent down this verse informing the Messenger (pbuh) and the Kuffar that there is no longer any treaty to be aggreed upon after the period of those treaties which are still binded expires no more treaties will be signed. Due to there continues breaking of the treaty rules.
Now the reason why this verse is with out the Formula "In the name of Allah .." is that because the Quran is written in a speech form, and when speaking a person does not say to a theif (who has just snachted a hand bag from a 80 year old lady) after catching up with him " how are you my friend, my the blessin and the gracce of god be with you" you dont do that, instead you say something like this "Damn you fool, didnt you feel embraced when you snachted from a old lady, you should be ashamed of your self. " And when the police gets to him they dont send you on holiday intead in the prison. Simply you dont get rewarded for your wrong actions and the pagans where declaring wars and then when loosing they would aggree to sign a treaty and then when they thought they have the strenth to fight the muslims they broke the agrreement.
Mulims where forced to abide by there treaties which they had singed, but the pagans broke them at will and attacked and looted the Muslims homes, so the muslims were given the genral order to take revenge from them. ON other hand the pagans where given the choice of four months to travel to the destination of their choice before the period of four months runs out, and otherwise after the limit of the four months Muslims had the right to retaliate.
Just a quick note, this verse was a genral permission for the muslims to fight, but even though the permission was granted by Allah to fight after the period of 4 months expires, muslims still did not fallow that path, simply becasue it was not compulsory to fight, becasue it was a genral permission.
This is what At-tabri has to say about the historical back ground of this veres, a very detail explaination of the context derived from the Sahih Hadeeth and other sources:

4:34 As for the women who show rebellion, you shall first enlighten them, then desert them in bed, and you may beat them as a last resort.
Allah said,
[ููุงูุตูููููุญููุชู]
(Therefore, the righteous) women,
[ูููููุชููุชู]
(are Qanitat), obedient to their husbands, as Ibn `Abbas and others stated.
[ุญููููุธููุชู ูููููุบูููุจู]
(and guard in the husband's absence) As-Suddi and others said that it means she protects her honor and her husband's property when he is absent, and Allah's statement,
[ุจูู
ูุง ุญูููุธู ุงูููููู]
(what Allah orders them to guard.) means, the protected [husband] is the one whom Allah protects. Ibn Jarir recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah said,
ยซุฎูููุฑู ุงููููุณูุงุกู ุงู
ูุฑูุฃูุฉู ุฅูุฐูุง ููุธูุฑูุชู ุฅูููููููุง ุณูุฑููุชูููุ ููุฅูุฐูุง ุฃูู

ูุงูููยป
(The best women is she who when you look at her, she pleases you, when you command her she obeys you, and when you are absent, she protects her honor and your property.) Then, the Messenger of Allah recited the Ayah,
[ุงูุฑููุฌูุงูู ูููููุงู
ูููู ุนูููู ุงููููุณูุขุกู]
(Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, ) until its end. Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf said that the Messenger of Allah said,
ยซุฅูุฐูุง ุตููููุชู ุงููู
ูุฑูุฃูุฉู ุฎูู

ููู ุฃูููู ุงููุฃูุจูููุงุจู ุดูุฆูุชยป
(If the woman prayed her five daily prayers, fasted her month, protected her chastity and obeyed her husband, she will be told, 'Enter Paradise from any of its doors you wish.')
Allah said,
[ููุงูููููุชูู ุชูุฎูุงููููู ููุดููุฒูููููู]
(As to those women on whose part you see ill conduct,) meaning, the woman from whom you see ill conduct with her husband, such as when she acts as if she is above her husband, disobeys him, ignores him, dislikes him, and so forth. When these signs appear in a woman, her husband should advise her and remind her of Allah's torment if she disobeys him. Indeed, Allah ordered the wife to obey her husband and prohibited her from disobeying him, because of the enormity of his rights and all that he does for her. The Messenger of Allah said,
ยซูููู ููููุชู ุขู
ูุฑูุง ุฃูุญูุฏูุง ุฃููู ููุณูุฌูุฏู ููุฃูุญูุฏูุ ููุฃูู

ููู ุนูุธูู
ู ุญูููููู ุนูููููููุงยป
(If I were to command anyone to prostrate before anyone, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate before her husband, because of the enormity of his right upon her.) Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah said,
ยซุฅูุฐูุง ุฏูุนูุง ุงูุฑููุฌููู ุงู
ูุฑูุฃูุชููู ุฅููู ููุฑูุงุดููู ููุฃูุจูุชู ุนูููููููุ ููุนูููุชูููุง ุงููู
ูููุงุฆูููุฉู ุญูุชููู ุชูุตูุจูุญยป
(If the man asks his wife to come to his bed and she declines, the angels will keep cursing her until the morning.) Muslim recorded it with the wording,
ยซุฅูุฐูุง ุจูุงุชูุชู ุงููู
ูุฑูุฃูุฉู ููุงุฌูุฑูุฉู ููุฑูุงุดู ุฒูููุฌูููุงุ ููุนูููุชูููุง ุงููู
ูููุงุฆูููุฉู ุญูุชููู ุชูุตูุจูุญยป
(If the wife goes to sleep while ignoring her husband's bed, the angels will keep cursing her until the morning.) This is why Allah said,
[ููุงูููููุชูู ุชูุฎูุงููููู ููุดููุฒูููููู ููุนูุธููููููู]
(As to those women on whose part you see ill conduct, admonish them (first)). Allah's statement,
[ููุงููุฌูุฑููููููู ููู ุงููู
ูุถูุงุฌูุนู]
(abandon them in their beds,) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas said "The abandonment refers to not having intercourse with her, to lie on her bed with his back to her.'' Several others said similarly. As-Suddi, Ad-Dahhak, `Ikrimah, and Ibn `Abbas, in another narration, added, "Not to speak with her or talk to her.'' The Sunan and Musnad compilers recorded that Mu`awiyah bin Haydah Al-Qushayri said, "O Allah's Messenger! What is the right that the wife of one of us has on him'' The Prophet said,
ยซุฃููู ุชูุทูุนูู

(To feed her when you eat, cloth her when you buy clothes for yourself, refrain from striking her face or cursing her, and to not abandon her, except in the house.) Allah's statement,
[ููุงุถูุฑูุจููููููู]
(beat them) means, if advice and ignoring her in the bed do not produce the desired results, you are allowed to discipline the wife, without severe beating. Muslim recorded that Jabir said that during the Farewell Hajj, the Prophet said;
ยซููุงุชูููููุง ุงูููู ููู ุงููููุณูุงุกูุ ููุฅููููููููู ุนูููุฏูููู

ูุนูุฑูููยป
(Fear Allah regarding women, for they are your assistants. You have the right on them that they do not allow any person whom you dislike to step on your mat. However, if they do that, you are allowed to discipline them lightly. They have a right on you that you provide them with their provision and clothes, in a reasonable manner.) Ibn `Abbas and several others said that the Ayah refers to a beating that is not violent. Al-Hasan Al-Basri said that it means, a beating that is not severe.
Allah said,
[ููุฅููู ุฃูุทูุนูููููู
ู ูููุงู ุชูุจูุบููุงู ุนูููููููููู ุณูุจูููุงู]
(but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance),) meaning, when the wife obeys her husband in all that Allah has allowed, then no means of annoyance from the husband are allowed against his wife. Therefore, in this case, the husband does not have the right to beat her or shun her bed. Allah's statement,
[ุฅูููู ุงูููููู ููุงูู ุนูููููุงู ููุจููุฑุงู]
(Surely, Allah is Ever Most High, Most Great.) reminds men that if they transgress against their wives without justification, then Allah, the Ever Most High, Most Great, is their Protector, and He will exert revenge on those who transgress against their wives and deal with them unjustly.

(35. If you fear a breach between the two, appoint (two) arbitrators, one from his family and the other from her's; if they both wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation. Indeed Allah is Ever All-Knower, Well-Acquainted with all things.)
Further more Imam Ar-razi said" folded handkerchief" Maulana Maududi said "toothbrush" and Imam Shafi said that no phisical contact should be made, only a verbal condeming should be enough if the wife i not being loyal i other words Cheating on her husband with another man, beause the verse says gaurding her property (house or her own body) and honor. And even if it does say beating that causes pain, is still worthy punihment, then being stoned to death for committing adultrory.
Torah says stone the adulterer until death, no where in the Quran we find this injuction,it only says beat the woman, and scholar unanimously aggree that this beating is not beating that will cause pain, jut light that it causes the woman to realise her mistake. and further the Quran goes on to say that if she repents then she should be treated nicely (verse34).
My dear friend Quran is not the Bible with Samson and Dileila stroy that you will undersstand without using your brain, you need to understand the historical context of the Quranic verses, before you go on to make your claims.
May Allah guide you to the truth/.
