Assalam olaikum,
Far from being a hostile religion as it is made out to be, Islam has shown great tolerance when it come to dealing with the Jews and Christians.
The Quranic verse 5:51 says: ‘Believers! Do not take the Jews and Christians for your allies. They are allies of one another. And amongst you who takes them for you allies, shall be regarded as one of them, Allah does not guide the wrong-doers.’ (TMQ-5:51)
This verse has been totally misunderstood and misinterpreted by the critics of Islam. Often the critics cite this verse and use or rather misuse it as a weapon to attack Islam by showing it to be an anti-Christian and anti-Jewish religion. However, like all other accusations of the anti-Islamic people this one also lacks substance and it is not backed up by enough proof from history.
If the critics really wish to understand the meaning of the Quranic verse 5:51 then they should understand the historical perspective fisrt. The early followers of Islam had to face repeated attacks by the pagans of Mecca on one hand and the enmity and conspiracy of the Jews who lived in Medina. The Prophet (saw) has entered into a peace treaty with the Jews. (contd)
