I ran across a few sites dealing with the Qur'an today... I would like someone who is knowledgable to show me a few passages that deal with how Muslims are supposed to treat Christians. This is not an attack, just a simple question.

Anyone?

Christians ae considered 'people of the book', so they are looked upon as kindred souls to Muslims. There is some question as to what 'Chrstian' was being implied by Muhammed, was it those who believed Jesus was just a man; or did it include those Christians who thought of him as divine.

In any case, all people are to be treated with respect in Islam.

A quick google search

What does the Qur'an say about Christians?

In the Qur'an, Christians are often referred to as among the "People of the Book," i.e. people who have received and believed in previous revelation from God's prophets. There are verses that highlight the commonalities between Christians and Muslims, and other verses that warn Christians against sliding towards polytheism in their worship of Jesus Christ.

"Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians -- whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve" (2:62, 5:69, and many other verses).
