This is the full verse;
“Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loves not transgressors. And slay them wherever you catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter… But if they cease, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful… If they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression.” (2:190–2:193)
This verse is about the pagans in Mecca who were not allowing the free practise of Islam and were oppressing the muslims of that time. Nothing to do with your idea about "killing all the kaffir" because if that was the case the lands that were conquered by muslims in the past would be free of all non-muslims by now since muslims have been commanded to kill all (in your words). Nations such as Spain would have no christians etc. The verses in the quran have been revealed throughout the prophet Muhammed (saw) time and not compiled at once. So the "violent" verses are a response to transgressions from foreign and local entities. Now read the full verse I posted and tell me, why did you leave out the part "but do not transgress limits; for God loves not transgressors." and "But if they cease, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful… If they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression."?
