i know Jesus never called his religion christianity. However, the Quran called christians as "Nasara"? and Nasra means victories or the supportive.
such as in this verse which used "Ansaro Allah", the victories of God.
[14] O you who believe! Be you helpers (in the Cause) of Allâh as said 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), to the Hawâriyyûn (the disciples): "Who are my helpers (in the Cause) of Allâh?" The Hawâriyyûn (the disciples) said: "We are Allâh's helpers" (i.e. we will strive in His Cause!). Then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved. So We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the victorious (uppermost).
Quran 61:14

they are called nasarah! from the Arabic word nasara which means to support.
so, nasarah are the supporters of Jesus.

because Christianity is not the real name of Jesus religion. Jesus never called his religion as Christianity. however they were called "Ansaroh Allah", those who were supportive to God, the followers of God. those who support Jesus for the sake of God.
and the Quran speaks the truth.
and yes christians and jewish can be friends with muslim, but not a leader above them in an islamic country.

The word Christian is a modern phrase. Historians refer to Christianity from that time period as the "Jesus Movement."

I'm not sure but several times I've heard the Quran quoted as saying "Do not befriend the Christians or the Jews" (obviously translated but I wonder what the original Arabic words mean?)
