Double standard to christianize article

Neutality? All article is one sided and neglects islamic views. Wikipedians should use both views. 1. Islam is first religion according to Islam as another user explained and christianity is first religion according to christianity 2. If christianity is first religion, it will be wrong to write christian views of Islam. Because supposedly christianity is first religion how it has views about Islam. And If it has then how can predate Islam. Rather they are not religios views rather the opinions of Islamophic people. If there is any real reformist who considers both religions equal?

Correct the part in the introduction that says that Muslims believe that Christians are kafirs.

"Muslims view Christians to be People of the Book, and also regard them as kafirs (unbelievers) committing shirk (polytheism) because of the Trinity, and thus, contend that they must be dhimmis (religious taxpayers) under Sharia law."

Should be changed to

"Muslims view Christians to be People of the Book, and many regard trinitarians as mushrik (polytheists) because of the Trinity, and thus, contend that they must be dhimmis (religious taxpayers) under Sharia law."

To elaborate:^[1]

Some do believe they are mushrik, aka associating partners with god, but a person who is committing shirk is not also a kafir, as that is an outright disbeliever. One who does not believe in God is a kafir, committing kufr, and one who does, but associates partners or to a lesser extent associates attributes/powers of God to other beings is a mushrik committing shirk. By nature, the two are mutually exclusive, no read or versed muslim will consider Christians both or even a disbeliever, especially since the Quran explicitly states they are people of the book and believers, though misguided/strayed from the correct path. 50.53.87.243 (talk) 10:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First off, Muslims do NOT see christians as disbelievers, we acctually accept christianity nad say it is one of the greatest religion to ever exist due to it believing in god. Muslims state that monethiest religions are religions of Allah which are proven to be accepted, BUT, they have to be by book. Christians also accept islam because of the similarities they have with islam and them believing in one god. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheGuyNamedSigma (talk • contribs) 14:50, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to edit a mistake an editor has made in the part it states that muslims dont accept christians and neither do they. That is BS. TheGuyNamedSigma (talk) 14:52, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

QURAN CONSIDERS; Christians as Closest in Affection: Qur'an 5:82: "You will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, 'We are Christians.' That is because among them are priests and monks, and they are not arrogant." The verse highlights humility and kindness among Christians, making them close to Muslims in faith.

Interfaith Interaction and Respect

Dialogue with Christians:
- Qur'an 29:46: "And do not argue with the People of the Book except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, 'We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.'"
  - The Qur'an encourages respectful dialogue with Christians.
Covenants with Christians:
- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) established treaties with Christian communities, guaranteeing their safety and religious freedom, such as the Charter of Najran
