For a Muslim, is there a difference the way they feel against a Jew, a Christian or an Atheist?

Question

I don't like this to be understood as a racist's question, but I'm interested to know if there are different degrees of dislike?

Answer 1

As a Muslim the way i feel about people is based on the kind of person they are not there religion or lack of it. I grew up in a multicultural society and grew up living next door too, going to school with and living in peace with all religions, colours and cultures of people (I did not grow up Muslim but reverted 2 years ago). My parents raised me to treat people how i want to be treated and to judge people on there actions and nothing else. Can i be a friend with a Jew? Yes. Can i be a friend with a christian? Yes. Can i be a friend with an atheist? Yes. Does this answer your question?

Answer 2

Why would there be degrees of dislike only? Are you so ignorant you think all of us are against all of them? No, not the facts. My mother is a catholic, and I am a muslim. My children are muslims as well. They spend almost every weekend at her house and we all celebrate in everything she does just as she celebrates in all we do. I don't hate my mother. I don't hate many people at all. Muslims tend to look at people for who they are, not what their label is. If you respect us, we will respect you. If you disrespect us, we will have nothing to do with you. I have friends as well from all denominations. We get along great. I just graduated last night from college, and my jewish friend was behind me making me laugh so hard I lost my mortarboard a few times. She is a great friend, and another jewish friend of mine was somebody who did a lot of good. She helped young women who were not yet considered adults get their lives back on track and stop acting so foolish. She died of brain cancer on October 15th, though, but she was a great person.

I don't see why most non muslims have this idea that we hate you. There are few extremists and the actual muslims you meet in real life don't do you any harm. Why don't you go by your own experiences instead of what the biased media feeds you?

Answer 3

Peace be with you,

As a Muslim I do not judge other people as that is GOD's job. Whether I like someone or not is not based on their religion.

I feel the same way about all non-muslims no matter what their belief. I feel sad they have not founded the truth and pray for them to find it.

I am more comfortable with Jews and Christians since we all believe in the same GOD and accept all the same Prophets except for 2. Jews typically do not accept Jesus (peace be upon him) and both Jews and Christians do not except Muhammed (peace be upon him). As Muslims we accept all Prophets from Adam to Abraham to Noah to Moses to Jesus to Muhammed (peace be upon them) and all the others in between.

Peace,

Answer 4

I also live in a multicultural society, actually all of my friends have been Christians, I even finally found a guy from Israel and University and had a good conversation with him. I know some people who are agnostic, and even atheist, but I don't treat them differently. I treat people with dignity and respect and expect the same, God will judge our deeds that is what I believe.

The only people I dislike who are ignorant, or arrogant, and misrepresent facts, no matter what creed, religion, race they are. (Even if they are so called Muslims)

060:008] Allâh does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allâh loves those who deal with equity.

[060:009] It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allâh forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the Zâlimûn (wrong doers – those who disobey Allâh).

Answer 5

Cant speak for the majority of my muslim sisters and brothers, all I know is that jews can backstab you when youre not looking...and christians are really naive people sometimes...and atheists are funny lol

they amuse me a lot ^^

but when it comes to my own muslim kind...not one country matches the other..so my feelings change from one country to the other.

oh and by the way Ive got friends from each..but my friends are special people who are rare in any society anyway...they dont have labelling issues and I trust them very much. but I do have general beliefs about the masses..and this pretty much sums up what I think about the masses.

Answer 6

their different degrees of dislike have to do with their varied degrees of ignorance. most muslims, if you care to check, are illiterate and do not understand arabic, thus can only parrot the words in the koran. they get all their prejudicial feelings from gossip handed down to them by their spiritual leaders, who are often at odds with other religions, particularly judaism.

Answer 7

I treat them all kindly but sympathize more with Jews and CHristians naturally cuz they believ in God.

Answer 8

I have a lot of Muslim friends,they're very helpful and more understanding.I dint feel awkward when mixed with them.

Answer 9

The fundamental teachings of Moses, Jesus and Mohammed (pbut) are the same. The first commandment given to Moses (pbuh) was the Shama or Kalima, as Muslims would have it.

That Shama is:

De 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is One LORD”



Same thing was repeated by Jesus (pbuh), when a scribe came to him and asks him which is the first commandment of all? Jesus replied:

MARK 12:29 And Jesus answered him, the first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is One Lord:

In the Medina some Christians came to Mohammed (pbuh) and asked him, what is your concept of God? At this moment God sent a revelation:

112:1 Say: He, God, is One.

If we read these verses in Hebrew or Arabic, the root word ‘One’ in Hebrew is “Ikhad” and in Arabic it is “Ahad”. Aramaic, Arabic and Hebrew are sister languages. Therefore, Moses said “Ikhad”, Jesus said “Ikhad” and Mohammed said “Ahad”. Meaning “One”.

If we are to believe in “ONE” God, than why God sent Moses (pbuh) with ‘Judaism’, Jesus (pbuh) with ‘Christianity’ and Mohammed (pbuh) with ‘Islam’?

Judaism:
If we are to follow the religion known as “Judaism” than this religion is not mentioned anywhere in the Law (Torah) (Old Testament) or Talmud or any other scriptures claimed by Jews to be the word of God. Nor did Moses (pbuh) in their sacred scriptures told his followers that their religion is “Judaism”. Where does this word “Judaism” comes from? Palestine was divided into tribes, one of them known as “Judea”. Therefore, the religion followed by the children of Juda in the land of Judea is known as “Judaism”.

Christianity:
If we are to follow the religion known as “Christianity” than this religion is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible. Nor did Jesus (pbuh) told his followers that your religion is known as “Christianity”. There are 73 books in the Catholic Bible and 66 Books in the Protestant Bible, But no word such as Christianity is found in them. The word “Christianity” is actually a derivation of people who after the ascension of Jesus (pbuh), accepted him as their Messiah. It was first used in Antioch.
Acts 11: 25-26 “Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
If Christians believe that Jesus (pbuh) was their Messiah and the Bible is the word of God, than they must realize that no where does God says in the Bible to be Christians or no where does Jesus say in the Bible to be Christians.

Islam:

The Arabic word Islam is derived from the root word Salam or Shalom in Hebrew, meaning peace. The word “Islam” means Submission to God. Therefore, Muslims are those who submit themselves to God. This word is not only found in the sacred scripture of Muslims known as Koran, It is also found there in the Bible.

JAMES 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

PSALMS 66:3 Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. {(The Pagan Arabs were also enemies of God, but later on they submitted themselves to God (Became Muslims)}

Of course, the word Islam or Muslim is mentioned many times in the Koran. Like in this verse:

3:20 But if they dispute with you, say: I have submitted myself entirely to God and (so) every one who follows me; and say to those who have been given the Book and the unlearned people: Do you submit yourselves? So if they submit then indeed they follow the right way; and if they turn back, then upon you is only the delivery of the message and God sees the servants.
Therefore if we had the chance of meeting Moses (pbuh) and would ask him, what is your religion (way of life)? He would say my religion is Submission to God (Islam). If we would be alive till the second coming of Jesus (pbuh) and would ask him, what is your religion? He would say my religion is Submission to God (Islam).
MATTHEW 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
If he would say I am a Christian, we will ask him, which church do you belong to? Or do you accept the extra 7 books in Roman Catholic Bible or not?

Now the difference between Torah, Gospel and Quran is of Law. God gives Laws according to the situation. For example:

Mathew 38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Now the disciples of Jesus (pbuh) couldn’t follow An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth because they were very few and weak in force. Not even faithful as Jesus (pbuh) use to say:

MATTHEW 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

But still Jesus (pbuh) said:

MATTHEW 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

If we ask a man of any religion that How many Gods do you believe in? His answer will be that God is One. For example a Hindu will also answer that God is One, but on the other hand he believes in God Incarnation! That God came to earth as Rama, Krishna, Seeva etc. The Christians would also say that we believe in One God, but they’ll say that God came on earth only as Jesus (pbuh) to live among us and understand us better. If that is so, why don’t you ask yourself a question? If God became a man to understand us better, why He didn’t became a Tree or a plant to understand it better? Why He didn’t became Sun to understand the Sun better? Why He didn’t became a Rabbit, to understand it better?


If we create a camera, to understand camera do we have to become camera ourselves! Or do we as camera’s creators would already know how to make the camera work better. Just like that God is the Creator of everything that exists. To understand us, God doesn’t have to come in a form of human, But he sends a man, a Prophet to His people, so that they may believe in him with their God gifted brains and would live a life as God wants them to live.


JOHN 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my God, and your God.
