"God 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 God? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme. "
(9:111)

in this verse, God is not COMMANDING the muslims to slay the pagans. its merely saying tht God had 'purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause

A muslim fights in the way of Allah wen defending himself, or others. He cant just attack.

Yuo said:Quran even threatened with hell fire those who refused to go with Mohammed on jihadi raids
Where in the quranare they threatened?
And Jihad does not mean raids. it means to strive eg. a student strives to get good results.

you said:"(where he robbed and captured women, whom he and his jihadis raped)."
Thats a lie.
Islam prohibits muslims to rob others or rape women. rape is a crime in Islam punishable by a death sentence. And it is a well known fact that Holy Prophet(pbuh) never did anything which is a sin in Islam.(this was the reason y he had so many followers)
