Answer

The statement your Christian friend made is incorrect. All the references you gave discusses something totally different. However it is not permissible to kill a non-Believer if he/she does not accept Islam. A person cannot be forced to accept our faith as guidance is only from Allah Ta?ala.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
