Is that supposed to counter all of those quotes? That's the equivalent to a school shooter telling his friend who was nice to him not to go to school tomorrow. His ideals are still f*cked up, but it's supposed to be alright because he's sparing people who were particularly nice to him?

It basically means "leave us to do whatever the hell we please, and we won't have a problem with you. Interfere, and you'll regret it." There's already this anyways, which pretty much counters your quote:

“They wish that you would reject faith as they have rejected faith unless that you would all be equal. So, don’t take protectors from them unless they emigrate in the way of Allah but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them.” 4:89
