S 5:51 Those who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Nasara as protectors. Some of them are protectors of others. And he who takes them as protectors among you, he is of them. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
The Muslim cannot accept protection from Christian policemen. If he does so, he is a wrongdoer.
S 5:82 You will find the strongest of people in enmity to those who have believed the Jews and those who have associated; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to those who have believed those who have said: We are Nasara. That is because among them are priests and monks and that they are not arrogant.
In the second verse Jews are distinguished from mushrikun; in others they are mushrikun. Does 'Allah' Call Jews Mushrikun? Christians are nearest to Muslims in affection, yet Muslims cannot call upon them to protect them. Muslims accuse Christians of hatred towards them but this verse says that they have affection for Muslims. Why do they feel affection for them? Because they have priests and monks. However in S 9:31 the author says that Christians have taken monks as lords, as gods. Furthermore, the author says that the Christians invented monasticism, which is evidently seen as being bad:
S 57:27 Then we sent after on their tracks our messengers and we sent after Isa son of Maryam and gave him the Injil. And we put kindness and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. And monasticism, they innovated it. We did not write it upon them but the seeking of Allah’s pleasure but they did not observe it with its right care. So we gave those who had believed among them their wage and many of them are fasiqun.
Christians have kindness and mercy in their hearts. Noble virtues, right? Yet many of them are, according to the author, fasiqun. فاسق In English - Translation and Meaning in English Arabic Dictionary of All terms Page 1
Muslims will call Christians arrogant but S 5:82 says that they are not arrogant.
Finally, S 2:62 Those who have believed and those who were Jewish and the Nasara and the Sabians--those who have believed in Allah and the last day and have done a righteous deed, theirs is their wage with their lord and there is no fear upon them nor do they grieve.
S 5:69 Those who have believed and those who were Jewish and the Sabians and the Nasara, he who has believed in Allah and the last day and has done a righteous deed, there is no fear upon them and they do not grieve.
Christians Jannah bound, even Jews 'who have severe enmity' towards Muslims. The Jannah-Bound
