not all of them were said when the prophet pbuh was still powerless. is the point you're trying to make that murder and forcing religion on an innocent person, is okay in islam because if so, you're showing yourself to be very ignorant.
the verses that i quoted didn't neccassarily mean that killing is always sinful, surley even you would admit that not fighting back when a war is waged on you is impractical.
this verse illustrates my point better.
"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors. (2:190)"
btw, i don't recall quoting verse 2:256 anywhere. some muslims like quoting it, but i personally don't.
i prefer using verses like the ones below (and i don't see how they're out of context since i quoted all 6 veses of surah 109)
"Say : O ye that reject Faith! I worship not that which ye worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship. And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship. To you be your Way, and to me mine. (109:1-6)"
the verses that you quoted were out of context and when put into context showed that Muhammed pbuh was only fighting back against those that had attacked his people first.
saying the verses i quoted are out of context is mindless, since even if they were put into context, wouldn't prove contradictory to the point i was making, which is that peace is always the perferable option islamically.
in your case puting the verses in context did prove contradictory to the point you were trying to make, which was that the Quran was a "manual of terrorism" and that the Quran condoned senseless killing of non-muslims.
