Adam 
Riddle did say that, but we don't really know if that is, in fact, 
the reason he left the basilisk (sp?) around or what his "noble 
work" was. I wouldn't put much stock in what Tom Riddle says about 
Slytherin's intent...I think he MAY be slightly, shall we say, 
misguided, and MIGHT have a tendency to distort things to justify 
his actions...
 
Me -

Exactly. Two words : Werewolf Pups. We know he was outright lying to Harry
about that so why not about other things?

Besides if it was Salazar's desire to kill all muggleborns/muggles then why
have we never heard of him actually doing it? All we know is he didn't want
to *teach* them. According to the Hat he rowed with his best friend
Gryffindor about it and then left - note and then left, not and then went on
a murderous rampage and killed vast numbers of people.
