Any religion is composed of basic elements:

  • supreme being (God or Gods) to be worshiped
  • prophet who calls for this religion
  • holy book explaining the religion rules and rituals
  • followers of the religion and the prophet

According to these basic elements, Muslims:

  • Worship same God in Christianity (God is called in Arabic Quran and in Arabic versions of The Bible as Allah)
  • believe in Jesus as the prophet of Christianity religion
  • believe in the Bible as God holy book
  • respect Christians.

Quran teaches Muslims to have sympathy to all humanity, animals, plants, nature without any discrimination of faith, race, country color or anything else. Muslims are taught to have love against every creature and the universe since all are created by Almighty God. If one is not believer we might have mercy against him or her to help him or her see the facts of the intelligent creation of God. Those who think that Muslims hate Christians can refer to the Quran sayings (meaning English translation):

".... You will find the nearest in love to Muslims those who say "we are Christians'. That is because amongst them are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world and they are not arrogant. And when they listen to the Quran revelation received by the Messenger (Muhammad), you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they have recognized. ... So because of what they said, Allah (God) rewarded them ...." [Quran, chapter 5, verses 82-86]

God explains in Quran that he caused the different nations with different beliefs only for them to compete in doing good deeds that bring them closer to God, but not to stay in conflict or hatred. Quran says:

... If Allah had willed, He would have made you one nation (one belief), but that may test you in what He has given you; so compete in good deeds; then God will inform you about that in which you used to differ

[Quran, chapter 5, verse 48]

In addition, the Quran Golden Rule says (Meaning English translation):

"There is no compulsion in religion..."

[Quran, Chapter 2, Verse 256]

Also, God commands Muslims to maintain friendly and cooperative relations with people of other beliefs. In the Quran, Holy book of Islam, God has said:

" God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers."

[Quran, chapter 60/ verse 8]

Refer to western Historians writings to compare what Muslims did when took control of Spain (spread of advanced sciences and civilization, never killed a woman, child, or old man, no tree was cut or house is destroyed or set in fire, no church was destroyed,...) with what done on the other hand when Christians took control of Spain.

Why do Muslim parents encourage their children not to like christians?

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.
