In the quran its stated that those who disbelieve in God and his messengers and verses, as well as associate partners with him will enter the hell.
What about those who believe in a creator but, for example dont follow religion due to the negative representation of it, especially islam, in the media.
Also if muslims are setting a bad example how are people supposed to see the beauty of islam and embrace it?
Do Musllims believe that all non Muslims will enter the hell fire, even if they have done good in this world?

From the first link:
Ansar Al-'Adl said:It is established by the consensus of Muslim scholars that there are indeed people in the world who do not recieve the message of Islam and consequently will be judged according to their circumstances. Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim said concerning non-muslims who did not recieve the message of Islam:We cannot rule whether such people are believers or unbelievers, because disbelieving means to deny something, while in their case, they did not know about the message from the first instance. As they were neither believers nor unbelievers, they should have a different ruling on the Day of Judgment.Wallahu 'alam.
Even if we were to say that they are unbelievers, then we would still have to say that the precondition for unbelievers to be punished in the Hereafter has not been ralized in their case. They have to be warned first. Allah will not punish people without a previous warning. This warning should be in the language that the person understands. (Tarîq al-Hijratayn and Ahkâm ahl al-Dhimmah)

anyone who rejects Allah and his messenger will enter the hell fire for enternity
You're taking my sentence out of context; I was speaking about the Islamic ruling on this issue. They are not making judgements on God's behalf, those judgements are revealed by God in the Qur'an and Sunnah and this ruling is based upon these divine sources.But most Muslim scholars are not God, most Christian, Hindu, Jewish scholars are not God. None of us are in a position to make judgements on God’s behalf.
By language it means that the beliefs and fundamentals of ISLAM are communicated to that person so that they are able to understand them. There is no such thing as communicating Islam in the language of disbelief, because a Muslim must believe in God and His Messenger and all that was revealed to him.When you say this warning should be in a language that the person understands, this may not mean English, French or Chinese. I understand more the language of Christianity rather than the language of Islam. You have a greater understanding of the language of Islam. Is God going to judge each one of us by our separate understandings?
Ansar Al-'Adl said:If someone recieves the message of Islam properly, then they can not reject it with impunity. When God sent Prophet Moses it was incumbent on his people to follow him and believe in him. The same is true for Prophet Jesus. The same is true for Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon all of them. God does not send a prophet for no reason; He sends them to guide people back to the original message of all the prophets. There really is no reason for someone to reject and disbelieve in the Prophet.
Nevertheless, if someone does not adequately recieve the message of Islam then they will be judged according to their circumstances. God knows best what was in their heart, we don't.
Ansar Al-'Adl said:Of course, but the explicit supposition is that they are fake. If they are not fake then there is no reason to reject them. That is why God gave us the faculties of reason and logic to investigate and search for the truth.There is a huge reason to reject them if they are fake.
Think about it this way, why would Islamic doctrine be built around the supposition that it is false?? That's not logically coherent.
Another member has told me that if you are righteous and follow Judaism then under Islam you will go to heaven. I was suprised because Judaism is similar in this aspect. Are you saying this is not true, and it is all dependant on if you recieved the message of Islam properly?
Yes, it is NOT true that someone who disbelieves in Prophet Muhammad and thinks he is false will go to paradise. If that was the case, why would the Prophet have bothered preaching at all? If you are a righteous person, God will guide you to the truth. Why would God allow a righteous believing servant of His, who craves for the truth, to be mislead and come to reject God's Messenger? That's not consistent with the concept of God as the Most Just.
Do Musllims believe that all non Muslims will enter the hell fire, even if they have done good in this world?
could be a christian who doesnt believe in the trinity
