You're mistaken about infinity not being in Euclid's parallel lines according to his article:
"He began by studying Euclid's postulate that a straight line has infinite length."

http://www.jstor.org/stable/27958258I think that the geometries opposed to Euclid do not contradict his because they depart from plane geometry. For example, a triangle with other than 180 degrees is not on a plane surface, nor are parallel lines that diverge or meet. please read the article and see what I mean!
Euclid's geometry is about plane geometry and the non-Euclidean's are not.
