Of course not. Catholics consider Muslims unbelievers. All religious believers will consider themselves as true believers. However, Muslims don't consider Catholics, or Christians in general, unbelievers. Muslims consider Christians (as Jews) people of the book because Musilms believe in the holy books of the Bible and the Torah.
Muslims do not encourage their children not to like Christians. Christians and Jews are people of the book as mentioned in the Quran and the people closer to Muslims are Christians as mentioned in the Quran. Muslims are allowed to marry Christians and Jews as they are people of the book. It is therefore a misconception on your part to think that Muslims are encouraged not to like Christians!
Muslims refer to Christians as "Ahl al-Kitab" which translates to "People of the Book" in Arabic.
Christians read the holy bible.
Since the Muslims believe that Jews and Christians were "People of the book", they received special treatment.
Muslims use it to refer to Christians and their bible.
Muslims describe Jews and Christians as "People of the Book".
All the people who don't believe what you do are infidels (unbelievers) from your perspective. To Christians, Muslims are the infidels. ________________________________________________________ Christians and Jews call Muslims infidels. However, Muslims call Christians and Jews as "people of the book" as they are holders of the holy books Torah and the Bible that Muslims believe that these holy books are revelations of God.
If you are speaking of Muslims the tern to describe Jews and Christians is Infidel or people of the book.
For Christians, the Bible For Muslims, the Qur'an For Jews, the Talmud
The Quran does not teach Muslims to reject all Christians, in fact the Quran in chapter 5 mentioned that the closest to the Muslims in faith are the Christians, because amongst the Christians one will find people who are devoted to learning, who have rejected the world and they are not arrogant. Unfortunately they are some people who like to pit Muslims against Christians to serve their own agenda...the Quran addresses the Christians with great respect by calling them 'People of the Book'
Because Islam is based on the Jewish and Christian religious book (the bible).
