According to Islam, the places of worship of all religions are sacred and untouchable. Jews and Christians are the People of the Book; they are entrusted to us.

Christians are the People of the Book and Muslims are ordered in the Qur’an to love and treat them with kindness and compassion.

God created human beings as different nations to live as brothers and sisters. Enmity towards Christians or Jews is not right according to the Qur’an.

It is a requisite of Muslim morality to approach Christians and Jews with compassion. They have been loyal to Prophets for thousands of years.

A true Muslim can never be hostile to the People of the Book.

God tells us in the Qur’an that Jews have the right to be in Israel. All the children of Prophet Abraham (pbuh) will live in those lands in brotherhood.

We condemn any attack on civilians as it is savagery. God orders all believers -Muslim, Christian or Jewish- to be friends.

According to Islam, the attacks on churches in Egypt is tyranny. All places of worship should be protected by Muslims. Our Muslim brothers and sisters all around the world should protect and stand by the People of the Book and protect their holy places.

Some ignorant and misguided people use an arrogant and disrespectful attitude towards Christians and Jews. They are grossly mistaken.

It is not proper to claim there is a quarrel between the Crescent and the Cross. Devout Christians are the allies of Muslims.

The clash of civilizations is the British deep state’s invention. Depicting the crescent and the cross to be opposed to each other would be falling into that trap.

A Muslim cannot be averse to Christians. On the contrary, Muslims should ally with pious Christians. An anti-Christian attitude is wrong. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi also said that pious Christians and Muslims should ally. Christian and Muslim clashes should be avoided at all costs.

We love all innocent Christians and Jews. According to the Qur’an they are the People of the Book and are under the protection of Muslims.

God does not tell Muslims to be hostile to Christians and Jews. On the contrary, God advises us to socialize and have good relations with them.

God explains in the Holy Qur’an that there are sincere believers among Jews and Christians.

It is only natural that there are similarities between the People of the Book and Muslims; they are all divine religions. The Mahdi movement can be found in all divine religions.

The provisions of the Qur'an are valid until the Day of Judgment. Those who allege that the verses about mercy and compassion have been annulled commit a great persecution. Claiming that the verses about love and mercy had been annulled, some bigots ban approaching Christians with compassion. None of the verses the Qur'an had been annulled. God decrees us to approach the People of the Book with compassion and mercy.

A believer considers serving Islam as a blessing but hypocrites don’t want to serve Islam. They follow their own evil religious law. Living alone, being stingy and feckless, leading an aimless, vain life, any act of moral turpitude and lying are all acceptable in the evil religious understanding of hypocrites.

A believer could never understand the spirit of a hypocrite or an unbeliever. It is a way of life that believers do not know and would never understand.

A believer who lives according to the moral values of the Qur’an is responsible to protect others like his own children. This is the system of guardianship in Islam.

A believer who strictly adheres to the Qur’an would never be unhappy or withdrawn.

A calming tone is always right. One needs to correct every provocative sentence, invite people to mildness and be moderate.

A careful person can detect malevolent people from their negative energy. When hypocrites walk into a place, their negativity is sensed immediately.

A compassionate person does not have prejudice or show bias against people. Being prejudiced is ignorance and vulgarity.

A cultivated person of high quality would never associate himself with prejudice.
