Is Quran contradicting itself by teaching to kill the infidel - others who don't convert - while teaching to be tolerant with other religions?

There is no contradiction for mainly two reasons:
- When saying to kill the infidels, it is said within the full Quran text that is talking about the infidels who are attacking Muslims and initiating wars against them. Then Quran licensed Muslims in this case to be strong in defending themselves against them even if they are obliged to kill them.
- Quran is God revelation to prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that remained; and will remain per God will; without single letter change until the resurrection day. God challenges; in Quran; one can find any contradiction in its stories, teachings or rules.

Do catholics tolerate other religions?
Yes we are. Even though our past with other religions is not pleasant, we do not dislike other religions. It is true that Catholicism is tolerant of other religions, although it took a long time, and the success of protestantism for this to be a fact. The church eventually had to give up the fight and be accepting once so many other nations became predominantly protestant, and in those countries the Catholics often became the persecuted. However the view of most Catholics well into the 20th century, and the official view of the church itself was that no one but Catholics could be saved. This changed after Vatican II, inasmuch as separated brethren could be saved if they were truly faithful Christians because of the fact that they were, because of no fault of their own ignorant of the truth of the Catholic Church. In other words they could only be saved as de facto "adopted Catholic Christians". One can only wonder what would have happened if Protestantism had failed and been practiced by an extremely small minority in all nations. In this case it is arguable that the Inquisitions would have continued for a much greater period. There are conservative Catholics today, in a minority, but still a fairly sizable one, who still consider Protestants unsaved because of their faith, and would quite readily put into place a Catholic theocracy in the United States if they could. I'm a convert of 26 years, and I know what I'm talking about, I've met these people.

While Hindus are generally tolerant of all religions, including Islam, Islam condemns non-Muslims.
