Ruth,
5:51...Take not the Jews and Christians as Auliya (friends, protectors, helpers) They are but Auliya of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as auliya), then surley he is one of them ((a Kafer, Infidel)) The N Quran

8:59-60
Let not the Unbelievers think that they can get the better (of the Godly): They will never fristrate them.Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) enemies of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom you may not know, but whom Allah knows. Ali Translation

The 8:59 is a critical piece....if it was written to 'strengthen' yourself against them only... the argument could be made that this was the internal Jihad...however...Muhammed/Allah made this very specific that war for the sake of Islam alone is in the way of Allah....and that non believers are 'enemies'.
I had a Mullah in Astan that I would talk to for hours about Islam, he was a LTC in the 205th Corps.
We discussed this specifically and he pointed out that the term "Steeds of War" refered to mobile aggressive warfare, taking the initiative, attacking and not just defending Islam against enemies...

which leads to Surah 8:39

And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief or belief in anything but Islam) and the religion will all be for Allah alone (in the whole world). But if they cease (worshipping other religions), then certainly, Allah is All-seer of what they do. The N Quran

4:95
Allah has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth ((i.e.Saudi Arabs)) and their lives above those who sit (at home). Unto each, Allah has promised good (paradise), but Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight above those who sit by a huge reward.

When you couple the surah....the greatest reward is for fighting for Islam, the highest levels of Paradise are for shaheed (those that die in the way of Allah)
Allah requires that all religions be subdued and Isalm covers the world etc. you have what we experience today.
