Why is there such division, such mistrust when it comes to Islam? This is a baby naming book [1]. An example of what Muslim children are taught from the time they are born. It begins with the naming of the baby. From their earliest days, Muslim children are told that non-Muslims hate them and wish them harm [Koran 3:118].

The doctrine repeatedly says that non-Muslims are evil and harbour ill-will towards Muslims [Koran 98:6]. This creates fear, anger and resentment where there shouldn’t be any. Every year, schools are sent materials that support these beliefs, based more on teachings than facts. When people speak out, it’s called ‘Islamophobia,’ as if the problem comes from outside, not from within.
This division began with the ‘Charter of Medina’ when Mohammed divided the world into his ‘ummah’ – who must follow him, and everyone else [2]. Seventeen times a day a Muslim is required to say a prayer that ends with ‘ Guide us to the straight way. Not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians). [Koran 1:6-7]
For 14 centuries, this divide has created a wall that can’t be crossed without leaving Islam [Koran 5:51]. This is heartbreaking—for Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Koran 5:51 O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust). https://legacy.quran.com/5/51
Koran 3:118 O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends, etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand.
Koran 98:6 Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Quran and Prophet Muhammad from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikun will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.
