Any Friendship Between Muslims and Other Groups?
*{O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he among you that turns to them for friendship is of them.}* (Al-Ma’idah 5:51)
This friendship makes any Muslim an enemy of their own and deserving of the same fate as the unbeliever. This is because God does not guide an unjust people.
After reading this, it occurred to me why groups of Muslims mainly choose not to socialize outside of their own friendship groups in schools and colleges around my area. Surely this aggravates an already mounting tension between Muslims and other groups.
To me this shows Allah is a God not of love and openness to all his children but one who “looks after His own.” How can this be good for building the Muslim faith? It seems Islam is a selfish religion in which one must worry about only his own beliefs and the beliefs of those close to him.
What do you say to this? And also I have friends who are Muslims. Are they in the wrong as I am a Christian?
