Hello Michelle how are u and how is your mother doing, is she ok, let us know.
I asked our scholar about your question and it is exactly like Muslimah said, we do not love them like we love our brothers and sisters in Islam, the reason that they made partners with Allah and he is one, and God does not forgive those who do not beleive in his onnes, so we do not love, yes we are to deal with them in ordinary life, learn from them teach them, but never love them, and when I asked him what about those who marry christians and jews, he said they are not to marry them if there are muslim girls, they marry them only on necissity, and they should marry only the virtous women, and that he must be sure that she will raise his children in a well mannered way and under his observation otherwise he is not allowed to marry her, not like what is hapening now, and the reason for that is to keep the islamic society a clean society that is raised on high morals of Quran and sunnah of prophet Mohammad(pbuh), but still if we do not love does not mean we hate, we do not hate any1, on the contrary we wish that every1 is saved, and that all are beleivers, but that is the will of Allah, who are we to want or not. We are not ordered to kill people michelle if they do not become muslims, yes we go for jihad not for ourselves but for Allah, we call for islam, and once we rule and take over, islam is not compulsry, each is free to stay on his own beleivs even athiests. But we are ordered all our lives to call for Islam and high morals, till the day we day and accept any humilation or mocking from any1 and all that for Allah Almighty. I hope you are satesfied, and I am sorry if it does not please u, this is an order from our lord and we do not bring anything from ourselves.
take care all
If I am right it is from Allah, if wrong my ignorance and mistake.
