What does the Islam faith say about how to deal with infidels?

Question

I am a Christian who does not accept the Islamic faith. What do the Islamic followers believe in how I should be dealt with?

Answer 1

As mentioned in your first answer, Islam says that if you do not want to believe, then to you be your religion and to me be mine. During the times of the Prophet Muhammad (saws), he made it clear that Christians and Jews and non-Muslims who did not want to accept Islam was to be left to their own religion, and even made peace treaties between the communities. Here is some of what the Quran says about non-Muslims:

60:8-9 "As for such [of the unbelievers] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, God loves those who act equitably. God only forbids you to turn in friendship towards such as fight against you because of [your] faith, and drive you forth from your homelands, or aid [others] in driving you forth: and as for those [from among you] who turn towards them in friendship; it is they, they who are truly wrongdoers!"

9:6 “And if anyone of the Mushrikoon (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) seeks your protection then grant him protection so that he may hear the Word of Allah (the Qur’an) and then escort him to where he can be secure”

3:64 "Say: O People of the Scripture. Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partners unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto Him)."

5:8 "O YOU who have attained to faith! Be ever steadfast in your devotion to God, bearing witness to the truth in all equity; and never let hatred of any-one lead you into the sin of deviating from justice. Be just: this is closest to being God-conscious. And remain conscious of God: verily, God is aware of all that you do."

16:125 "CALL THOU [all mankind] unto thy Sustainer's path with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and argue with them in the most kindly manner- for, behold, thy Sustainer knows best as to who strays from His path, and best knows He as to who have been guided."

18:29 And say: "The truth [has now come] from your Sustainer: let, then, him who wills, believe in it, and let him who wills, reject it."

2:256 Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

42:48 But if they turn away [from thee, O Prophet, know that] We have not sent thee to be their keeper: thou art not bound to do more than deliver the message [entrusted to thee]. And, behold, [such as turn away from Our mes­sages are but impelled by the weakness and incon­stancy of human nature: thus,] when We give man a taste of Our grace, he is prone to exult in it; but if misfortune befalls [any of] them in result of what their own hands have sent forth, then, behold, man shows how bereft he is of all gratitude!

Answer 2

first of all muslims believe in the one god the same you worship
second answering your question non muslims should not be harmed they have the right to keep their religion and if a muslim wanted any non muslim to be one he should tell him about Islam and leave him decide his own religion because he has a mind to think and to see what's right for him.
that's what muslims learned from KORAN and their prophet MOHAMED

of course you will tell me about those who kill non muslim believe me they have their own reasons and Islam is not one of these reasons

Answer 3

I am Christian, I don't follow religion for the most part, as far as one being better than the other. I believe no matter what religion you are, it is one God we all believe in. I like how "z_code_01" answered your question.
