S 2:105 Those who have disbelieved of the People of the Book do not like, nor the mushrikun, that any good should be sent down upon you from your lord. And Allah favours with his mercy whom he wills. And Allah is the possessor of the great favour.


S 98:1 Those who had disbelieved of the People of the Book and of the mushrikun were not to be dissolved until the proof should come to them,


S 98:6 Those who have disbelieved of the People of the Book and of the mushrikun are in the fire of Jahannam, abiding therein indefinitely. Those--they are the worst of creatures.


A distinction is being made in these verses between the 'People of the Book' (Christians and Jews) and mushrikun, often translated 'polytheists'.


We may add 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.


and


S 22:17 Those who have believed and those who were Jewish and the Sabians and the Magians and those who have associated, Allah judges between them on the day of resurrection. Allah is a witness over everything.
