in Ibn Katheer Tafseer book and under the interpertion of this verse
<i>(62. Verily, those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians (Sabi'in), whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.)</i>
he mention that Imam Al Tabari (or Ibn Gareer..i can't remember) say that this verse talk about the Jews and Christians before prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) and it apply to Jews and Christians who receieved a distorted message about Islam (ask FOX NEWS about that)....which apply to alot of Jews and Christians in the western world this days.
and God knows best.
