Please brother syed, rather than bend over backwards in order to tell the enemies of Allah that you dislike Muslims and think that hey'll go to hell, please try to avoid causing an unnecessary dispute using falsified ahadith and reverse psychology, it is better we try to understand the truth and accept it together:
If any Muslim killed a
Muahid (i.e. non-Muslim monotheist living in Muslim land under valid covenant) then he (Muslim) shall not even smell the fragrance of Paradise*although the fragrance of Paradise would have been perceived from the distance of travelling for 40 years
[Sahih Bukhari, Volume No. 3, Hadith # 2995]*
But i can perceive that it may be a mistake and copy paste on your part, since the pacifist sites do have an issue of twisting the facts in order to make the enemies of Allah look like ashaab al jannah, and the mujahideen in Allah's path look like ashaab al jahannam,
Better to be honest with ourselves.
Note, this post is a response to the above and a correction of a falsified hadith, and is not a reply with regard to ericH's post.
In this translation, the term muahid is solely described to mean monotheist, i hope somebody with a better grasp of Arabic can clarify:

And here's another use of the term:

Edit:
Just found the source with Arabic:
87Blood Money (Ad-Diyat)(30)باب إِثْمِ مَنْ قَتَلَ ذِمِّيًّا بِغَيْرِ جُرْم
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever killed a Mu'ahid (a person who is granted the pledge of protection by the Muslims) shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of forty years (of traveling).
حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُجَاهِدٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ *" مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا مُعَاهَدًا لَمْ يَرَحْ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا يُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا ".

In-book reference*:*Book 87, Hadith 52

Looking at the Arabic text clarifies that it is a small h from 'ahd/3ahd (lawful and valid covenant) rather than waHid (one), and it certainly does not say kaafr (infidel), also the statement begins with "man" implying "whosoever" and not "Muslim",
And certainly doesn't read:

That quote raised alarm bells when i tried reading without the brackets and tried to Imagine the Messenger of God Muhammad (pbuh) saying it so i decided to check.
Pleaae let us try to be sincere, just and truthful.
[I]
Whosoever kills a believer (in God who accepts Islamic Monotheism and Muhammad as the Messenger of God) intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (For ever): And the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him.
Quran 4:93
