I quoted the Quran which specifically said it is fine to befriend non-Muslims.
You say it not fine to befriend non-Muslims.
So is the Quran wrong, or you?
Or do you think Allah has changed his mind since then?
What you have quoted;-
[60:8]
GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable.
[60:9] GOD enjoins you only from befriending those who fight you because of religion, evict you from your homes, and band together with others to banish you. You shall not befriend them. Those who befriend them are the transgressors.
........
[16:125} You shall invite to the path of your Lord with wisdom and
kind enlightenment, and
debate with them in the best possible manner. Your Lord knows best who has strayed from His path, and He knows best who are the guided ones.
.....
[29:46]
Do not argue with the people of the scripture (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) except in the nicest possible manner - unless they transgress - and say, "We believe in what was revealed to us and in what was revealed to you, and our god and your god is one and the same; to Him we are submitters."
[29:47] We have revealed to you this scripture, and those whom we blessed with the previous scripture will believe in it. Also, some of your people will believe in it. Indeed, those who disregard our revelations are the real disbelievers.

Fighting against Islam, is not just about physical fighting its about what people say to change religion. This is what even Satan does, he talks and schemes, so we go against him.
Also you'll find that if a Scholar in Islam changes anything about Islam-he is in big trouble and the other Muslims will go against him. Even though he has not fought physically. We enjoin good and forbid evil. A female goes around naked,
she is not actively physically fighting, but we also go against this behaviour strongly. So fighting against Islam is not just about evicting people from their homes. Allah has never told us to befriend idol worshippers, lewd people, homosexuals etc. They are already going against Islam-what Allah has taught us.
So those people who don't fight us because of our religion, are not like you and others you see around you. Do you think that Allah is going to teach a Muslim Man to befriend a lewd Males just because they don't say anything wrong about Islam? Do you think that Alalh is going to teach a Muslim women to befriend a prostitute just because she is not saying anything against Islam? AS stated we are not Christians, its not about people being nice to us-which is what sinners do. Look at the verses above, Allah talks about people going against Muslims because of their "
religion" not because of us personally. You only care if someone attacke you personally. Just becaue of our religion people don't like us, and don't accept us. If you can't accept a Muslim then why should you be allowed to go to Paradise and be with good people who are really no different to Muslims??
They have
transgressed by accepting idol worship. Its a fact that there were Christians who did not accept idol worship and the Jews are rejecting Hell and looking for this world, there is reference that a jewish women came to one of the wives of the Prophet and talked about the torment of the grave. so why are the Jews not teaching this anymore and going to Hell?
I've already explained about this a bit in the "Freedom and evil acceptance", only evil people ask people to get along with them, and accept everyone this is actually because no one will be critical of how they are, when they are being lewd. Its like if you get people to accept everyone, then they too will be accepted. People are not going to accept them because they are different, but because they accept everyone else and then they will be accepted too.
So the focus is not on that person, but on everyone else. Rather like if you say anyone can go to a theme park, so if there was racism, but because everyone is accepted then n oone would feel uncomfortable. This is what the Jews were doing, and why there was talk of mult-cultural etc. I'm against Zionist, but not against Jews who don't transgress and change religion, those that accept that there is one God, Day of Judgement Hell, Paradise. We are not like Jews who are going to adopt Christian names and try and blend in, we are Servants of Allah.
This is what lewd people do, they are saying to get their lewd behaviour acceptable so they will personally be accepted by others. They are getting the focus on a cause, someone else, but they are focused on getting acceptable themselves.
WE are not sinful people, we stand apart from sinful people. We are never friends with infidels. You keep on using that phrase, but no Muslim if you asked them right now, would they stand with you or a Muslim. They would say a Muslim. Evil people want people to get along with them, to accept their rubbish.
Allah has created humans, you have to adhere to Islam, to be treated as a good person. No matter what you say and create, you cannot change the fact that a sinful person is never going to be treated the same as a good person. You are treating Muslims like infidels, we are not your friends;-
-the angels don't treat you like a good person, even today,
-the angels don't treat homosexual as a good person.
You only get treated nicely if you repent, you are asking to be treated nicely regardless-which you can never have except tolerance. Even Allah does not treat you the same as he would do with a Muslim.
You'll also find any Muslim, including myself, which is were the reference is about nicest possible manner with the people of the scripture, we naturally are kind to them, as they accept the one God, the Day of Judgement, Paradise and Hell. You don't see it as your treating the Christians as the Christians of old, as even stated there were before never worshipping Prophet Jesus peace be upon him etc.
IF you say to any Muslim that you accept the one God, the Day of Judgement and in Paradise and Hell, you will automatically see that they are happy! Already naturally looking in a more kinder way. WE are never horrible to people who accept the one God, the Day of Judgement, Paradise and Hell.
Instead of trying to treat yourself as the same, go and find out that there were Christians who did not commit idol worship and were Jews who rememebered Hell and read up on the reference of the torture of the grave, before derailing this thread, and go and create your own.
This thread is about how non-Muslims are when they are repenting, already accepting Islam. So no derailing.
