>> Please show me this in the Koran:

I'm not a student of it, but I do know that it appears in many contexts. I've seen Sura 9:5 cited --

9:5 Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

But if one becomes Muslim, they're off the hook --

9:11 But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethren in religion.

Actually, all of Sura 8 and Sura 9 are worth reading, but the translations seem to me to vary widely.
