There is a prophetic statemtnt where prophet Muhammad ordered Muslims not to greet any Jew or Christians until those Jews and Chrostians greet the Muslim first. In the same statement, prophet Muhammad also ordered Muslims to force Jews and Christians to walk in the narrower part of the road.

Is this some sort of discimination against non Muslims?

My friend, unfortunately, I cannot read Arabic.
As I'm sure you know. The progression of these three faiths is Judaism-Christianity-Islam. Each faith believes, at some level, the validity of the preceding faith. That is the Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same God. However, the faiths differ at key points. While Christians believe Jesus was the Messiah the Jews were expecting, Jews reject this claim. The Muslims do not see Jesus as the messiah either, but as a prophet like all the prophets before him. I believe I've read that God inspired Muhammed to recite the Quran, and preach the message that former texts (old and new testaments used by Jews and Christians) are corrupt. And that God used Muhammed as a mouth piece to recite the Quran. From this perspective, it is easier to see why Muhammed would look down on Christians and Jews, probably in contempt. Perhaps in his mind, Christians and Jews have skewed the divine messages to fit their own agendas. And so, what do you do with contemptible people? You don't greet them, avoid them, or force them to walk far away from mainstream (so their bad influences won't rub off on others).

Look up the word Dhimmi. It designates a second-class citizen under Muslim rule--any Xtian or Jew who was living in an Islamic nation was a Dhimmi in old times. They had to step off the street to let Muslims pass, and other things.

I think this is one of the instances where the Quran and History do not agree. Mohammad was known to be open and fair to Jews; it could well be that those negative behaviors was created after Mohammad's death.

God says that the Jews will be persecuted at every turn by every people until the end. This just seems like another false religion fulfilling Gods words.

It is also said that Mohammed admonished his followers to consort in the world kindly with Christians.

Because just like Muslims, Jews and Christians are evil pieces of sh*t.
