Qu'ran (5:51) - "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people."
Sure the Qu'ran calls the Jews and Christians people of the book, but what that actually delineates is a second class status. So Christians and Jews get to keep their religion as long as they pay extra tax and don't mind being second class citizens. Meanwhile everyone else, all the Atheists and polytheists have to convert or be put to the sword. To deny this is to deny what your own religion says.
Well on the hate scale
Jews/Heathens<------------------------------>Christians
The negative part of the hate scale is jews & heathens. On the positive scales are christians. It's still a hate scale !
But they are better than the rest, that what we say.
The verse above -which you mentioned- is the evidence why something like the crusades took place. God is very obvious about this :
Christians are better than the rest. But they are not your friends.
And christians proved that verse right. They were brutal just like the rest against muslims. But in todays world, christian countries do treat muslims better than Israel for example.
