alsalamo alikom my friends
what do you think of the relations between Muslims and Christians?
Allah says in the holy Koran (translation) :
[5.82] Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are polytheists, and you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and monks among them and because they do not behave proudly.
[5.83] And when they hear what has been revealed to the apostle you will see their eyes overflowing with tears on account of the truth that they recognize; they say: Our Lord! we believe, so write us down with the witnesses (of truth).
[5.84] And what (reason) have we that we should not believe in Allah and in the truth that has come to us, while we earnestly desire that our Lord should cause us to enter with the good people?
[5.85] Therefore Allah rewarded them on account of what they said, with gardens in which rivers flow to abide in them; and this is the reward of those who do good (to others).
[5.86] And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject Our communications, these are the companions of the flame.

[5.72] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He is the Messiah, son of Marium; and the Messiah said: O Children of Israel! serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah, then Allah has forbidden to him the garden, and his abode is the fire; and there shall be no helpers for the unjust.
[5.73] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is the third (person) of the three; and there is no god but the one God, and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve.
[5.74] Will they not then turn to Allah and ask His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[5.75] The Messiah, son of Marium is but an apostle; apostles before him have indeed passed away; and his mother was a truthful woman; they both used to eat food. See how We make the communications clear to them, then behold, how they are turned away.

Praise be to Allaah.

Why don't we discuss that issue in details according to Islamic point of view, sister?

Let's see What the muslim shoud believe and think about non-muslims and how they should treat them;

1- Islam is the religion of mercy and justice.

2- Muslims are commanded to call non-Muslims to Islam with wisdom and beautiful preaching and by debating in a manner that is better. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"And argue not with the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), unless it be in (a way) that is better (with good words and in good manner, inviting them to Islamic Monotheism with His Verses), except with such of them as do wrong"‌
[al-'Ankaboot 29:46]

3- Allaah does not accept any religion other than Islam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers"‌
[Aal-'Imraan 3:85]

4- The Muslims should give the kaafirs the opportunity to hear the words of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"And if anyone of the Mushrikoon (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allaah) seeks your protection then grant him protection so that he may hear the Word of Allaah (the Qur'aan) and then escort him to where he can be secure"
[al-Tawbah 9:6]

5- The Muslims should differentiate between different kinds of kaafirs in their dealings with them. They should make peace with those who make peace, and wage war against those who wage war, and wage jihad against those who stand in the way of spreading the message of Islam and causing it to prevail of earth.

6- With regard to matters of love and hate in the heart, the Muslims' attitude towards non-Muslims is based on the latter's attitude towards Allaah. If they worship Allaah and do not associate anything in worship with Him, then they love them. If they associate others in worship with Him, or disbelieve in Him, or worship others alongside Him, or are hostile towards His religion and hate the truth, then it is obligatory to hate them in our hearts.

7- Hating them in our hearts does not mean that we should oppress or mistreat them under any circumstances, because Allaah said to His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), describing what his attitude should be towards the People of the Book:

"and I am commanded to do justice among you. Allaah is our Lord and your Lord. For us our deeds and for you your deeds"‌
[al-Shoora 42:15 (interpretation of the meaning)]

Even though he is a Muslim and they are following Judaism or Christianity.

8- The Muslims believe that it is not permissible, under any circumstances whatsoever, for a Muslim to mistreat a non-Muslim who is not hostile towards Islam; so the Muslim should not commit aggression against him, or frighten him, or terrorize him, or steal his wealth, or embezzle him, or deprive him of his rights, or deny him his trust, or deny him his wages, or withhold from him the price of his goods when buying from him or withhold the profits of a partnership if he is in a business partnership with him.

9- The Muslims believe that it is obligatory upon the Muslims to honour treaties or agreements made with a non-Muslim party. If a Muslim has agreed to their conditions when seeking permission to enter their country (i.e., a visa) and has promised to adhere to that, then it is not permissible for him to commit mischief in their land, to betray anyone, to steal, to kill or to do any destructive action, and so on.

10- The Muslims believe that in the case of non-Muslims who wage war against them and drive them out of their homes, or help others to do so, it is permissible for Muslims to shed the blood of these non-Muslims and confiscate their wealth.

11- The Muslims believe that it is permissible for a Muslim to treat kindly those non-Muslims who are not hostile, whether by offering financial help, feeding the hungry, giving them loans if needed or interceding with regard to permissible matters, or speaking kindly to them or returning their greetings, and so on. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"Allaah 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, Allaah loves those who deal with equity"
[al-Mumtahanah 60:8]

12- There is no reason why Muslims should not cooperate with non-Muslims with regard to establishing truth and combating falsehood, to support the oppressed and ward off danger from mankind, such as cooperating to fight pollution or to protect the environment, or to combat epidemic diseases and so on.

13- The Muslims believe that there are differences between Muslims and non-Muslims in specific rulings such as diyah (blood money), inheritance, marriage, guardianship in marriage, entering Makkah etc., as is explained in the books of Islamic fiqh (jurisprudence). This is based on the commands of Allaah and His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). We cannot regard as equal one who believes in Allaah alone with no partner or associate and one who disbelieves in Allaah or one who disbelieves in Allaah and joins others in worship with Him, or who turns away from the true religion.

14- Muslims are commanded to call people to Allaah in all the Muslim countries and other lands. They must convey the true religion of Allaah to the world and build mosques in all parts of the world, and send daa'iyahs (callers) to non-Muslim countries and invite their leaders to enter the religion of Allaah.

15- The Muslims believe that other people who are following other religions are not following any true religion, so the Muslims do not allow others to send missionaries to build churches in Muslim countries. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"Is then he who is a believer like him who is a Faasiq (disbeliever and disobedient to Allaah)? Not equal are they"
[al-Sajdah 32:18]

Whoever thinks that Islam is equal to other religions is making a serious mistake. But the Muslim scholars have opened the door to debate with non-Muslims and allow the opportunity to discuss with and listen to non-Muslims and explain the truth to them.

Finally, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"Say (O Muhammad): 'O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allaah (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allaah'. Then, if they turn away, say: 'Bear witness that we are Muslims'"
[Aal-'Imraan 3:64]

"And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them"
[Aal-'Imraan 3:110].

If there is any negative relationships between true Muslims and true Christians, it wouldn't be directly religious.
Eastern Christians at the time of Mohammad didn't seem to have a problem with Mohammad; in fact, Christians protected the followers of Mohammad from the pagans of Mecca.
Most of my friends are Christians and we never have a problem; the Quran's view of Jesus is not unlike that of the Christians I associate with. The problem with Christians and Muslims is the Eastern cultural and traditional factor. If to be a true Muslim means speaking Arabic and adopting Arabic Culture, then Islam would be a racist belief.

Rewards for what, Why are we to be rewarded, we cannot do anything to be as good as God, we can never earn that, We are human, There are so many contradictions, beware.
They believe in Jesus, but not Jesus Christs Word, Jesus said the only way to the Father is through the Son, now what does earning have to do with that, Jesus went to the cross, Are we suppose to take sin to a perfect God that can have no part of sin, It simply cannot happen.

I come from a Christian denomination that has close ties to Islam. It always seemed to me that there was a close kinship between the two. My daughter visits the Islamic Center with her Muslim friends.

It shows that Mohammed had a novice's understanding of Christianity. He does not know God, and by the Apostle John's definition, antichrist.

Well since you asked!!!!!!!

There is no way that a Christian and a Muslim have anything in common,or in belief, or in values, or in morals, or in this life or our life to come.

They are, the farthest thing of having the same beliefs as God and Satan are. We do not share one thing in common. I can't believe you are trying to even compare the two as if we all believe the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Holy Bible comes from our God, our Creator, the only God there is, The Beginning and the End of all things.

I get so tied of people trying to say that the Koran is truth, because it is the biggest lie from the pit of Hell, to every have been written, by only who knows.

A believer places their faith in the one and only True God. Any one that comes in his name is a lier. And anyone following any thing but the Word of our God Almighty is following false teaching. Believers in the Lord God Almighty do not believe in killing anyone that by their own choice choses not to believe. But Islam believes that they will physically force and then kill anyone that doesn't convert to their lie, they want to force everyone to bow down to their idol allah or face death. Their goal at the present hour is to totally wipe Israel of the face of the earth and All of the American people with them. They have full intentions in stealing The Holy Land from Israel, Land that was given to them by the Lord God Almighty himself. That is exactly what Islam is its a religion of Hate and Death and Control. It is a false religion , based on the false beliefs of one person, A person that has fooled or threaten people into the Idol worship of a allah. allah is not God, He is not our God of the Holy Bible. He is a false prophet, He needs to get saved. He needs to turn to our Lord God for repentance and forgiveness, Along with all those that have fallen into his wicked beliefs., Islam is based on a history of nothing by lies, and the blood shed of innocent children, Islam women are treated like dirt, its an ongoing thing to you guys. You guys can scream, I am not a radical Muslim, all you want but when it comes right down to it, you are either a Muslim or your not, with them or against them. And I just don't see to many giving up their life and going against the Koran if for no other reason fear of losing their own life. Isn't that the way it really is? There will be a few that will convert before its too late, I pray that you all do, but we'll just have to leave that between you and the Lord.

Our Lord has already wrote our names in the Lambs Book of Life, We have the Promise of Eternal Salvation, and Eternal Life with the Father.

5.83 is a lie from the pit of Hell. Their will never be a Christian, let anyone tell them lies out of a book of repeated lies, called the Koran, written by someone that isn't saved and doesn't believe in the Holy Word of God, and recognize it with overflowing tears, and accept it as truth. That my friend will never happen!

Apparently you don't know what a real Christian is. A True Christian will never compromise the Holy Word of Our Almighty God in any way. They will never deny the Word of Our God, and they would never put a sinner up on a pedestal, unless ever, ever, bow to it, that will never happen.

I got a question for you, How many people do you know that your idol allah has every saved? How many have turned to that and had bondages of sin broken? How many have been healed by him? How many have had an encounter with the Holy Spirit? Better yet how many have had an encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ? How many have a personal relationship with our Lord Jesus, based on the Blood he shed for us on the Cross ? How many can say that they have been filled with the Holy Spirit, How many of them have an ongoing joy that can only come from our Heavenly Father. How many demons has your idol allah cast out of people? How many people has your idol raised from the dead?

5.84 The reason we don't believe it is because it is a lie from the pit of Hell. There is not one word in that book that came from our Lord and Saviour. Its a lie, lie, lie, lie,lie ,lie lie,,,,,,,

What has your idol allah done for you in your life?

See, Please don't continue to compare the two as if we serve the same God and have the same beliefs, because we don't! But you can also accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your person Saviour, and repent of your sins, and turn from your wicked ways and be saved. Then you will not only feel but you will see what its like to serve a real God, Our Almighty God. And you will know how it feels to receive the Blessing of Our Lord God, and to have the Holy Spirit in your life and in you. Then you will see a huge difference in your life and you will then realize that what I have stated is the truth. Then you would feel the joy of serving a real God and a feeling of content in knowing and believing the truth. I am going to pray that the Holy Spirit would help you to see the truth of our Lord God and our Saviour Jesus. After all he the Saviour for all, and that includes you as well as me. Be Blessed.
