Does the Quran advocate violence toward non-Muslims?
Read the following Quran quotes:

...beware of them lest they seduce you from some part of that which Allah has revealed to you. And if they turn away know that Allah's will is to sm te them...(Quran; Surah 5:49)
...Take not the Jews and Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who takes them for friends is one of them. Lo! Allah guids not these wrongdoing people. (Quran Surah 5:51)
And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can overcome. Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for them all you can by armed force...(Quran; Surah 8:59-60a)

...Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! Be harsh with them...(Quran; Surah 9:73)
