Islam, Religion of peace, response to Shazia

According to quran and hadith the only guaranteed way of salvation and going to paradise without waiting for the judgement day is to slay and be slain for Allah.
009.111
YUSUFALI: Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
Quran even threatened with hell fire those who refused to go with Mohammed on jihadi raids (where he robbed and captured women, whom he and his jihadis raped).
How can Shazia promote islam as religion of peace?
