The Western Bible also has passages calling for believers to kill unbelievers. It was common in many old religious texts.

Spend a little time waltzing through Deuteronomy and you will find similar thoughts.
Not to get into a Biblical discussion, but the New Testament has quite a different tone.

That being said, the Koran doesn't get a pass just because other texts contain questionable ideas. Why people seem the think so, I have no idea.
