That would be Surah 109.

Still doesn't answer my questions, though.

I haven't read the Torah, but I have read the Bible -- and there's plenty of bits in there about how those that don't believe are doomed/cursed/whatever. Same in all religions, afaik.
Islam can curse me all they want. The problem is not with verbal abuse.

And since we're quoting -- Surah 2, "Al Bagara" -- The Cow

"Surely they that believe, and those of Jewry, and the Christians, and those Sabaeans, whoso believe in God and the Last Day, and works righteousness -- their wages awaits them with their Lord, and no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow."
What's the rule in Islam of a later Surah that contradicts a prior one? Surah 5, verse 51:

O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.
