Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. These are questions that have been repeated, and this is one of them. He says: What is your view of the one who says there is no difference between Muslims and Christians, except that the Christians have gone to excess in their love of 'Isa (peace be upon him) and in their hatred of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and if it were not for this excess, we would not have differed with them?
Answer:
If it were not for disbelief, yes, if it were not for disbelief we would not have differed, but they are disbelievers and we are Muslims. That is the meaning of the question.
