What is Christianity's view of other religions?

In fact, the church teaches that the “plan of salvation” includes all people, regardless of their religious affiliation
The church also recognizes that other religions very often contain “true and holy” elements—“rays of the same Truth” that the church professes. Because of this, people of other faiths deserve our admiration and respect, and the church calls on all people to engage in dialogue and collaboration around our shared values.

Jesus is not God
During his lifetime, Jesus himself didn't call himself God and didn't consider himself God, and ... none of his disciples had any inkling at all that he was God. You do find Jesus calling himself God in the Gospel of John, or the last Gospel.
Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’” Luke 4:8
If you worship Jesus as God or son of God. You shall be deserving of the fire of Hell.
Jesus said;
“But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, 'You fool! 'will be liable to the hell of fire.” (Matthew 5:22).
Whoever angers his brother deserves hell. So how does he not deserve the fire of hell who angers Jesus and the Lord of Jesus?

The rights of non-Muslims in an Islamic society
Islam believes that God honored man, before he became a Muslim, Christian, Jew or Buddhist, regardless of his color or race. Therefore, Islam preserved the rights of non-Muslims. Among these rights are:
Freedom of religion, so no one is forced to leave his religion, but rather he is allowed to practice his private rituals without restrictions. Because the principle is that there is no compulsion in religion.
Righteousness and justice in dealing with non-Muslims; According to the Quran: that as long as others live in security with Muslims, Muslims must establish their relationship with them based on foundation of affection and fairness.
Equality between Muslims and others in rights and duties. This principle was written after the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina, and it stipulated that the People of the Book - the Jews at that time - are nations with the muslims; That is, they have full citizenship rights, practice their worship with all their freedom, support Muslims, and advocate for the protection of the city. They cooperate, each in his position, in carrying the burdens. It is not permissible for a Muslim to oppress a covenanter, burden him beyond his capacity, or take anything from him without his consent. They accepted the dhimma contract so that their money and rights would be like the money and rights of Muslims. For example, the permissibility of alcohol and raising pigs for non-Muslims, and it is not permissible for a Muslim to destroy the wine of a dhimmi or his pig. If a Muslim did that, he would have to pay for that.
Is belief in Islam a condition for citizenship in Islamic society?
Belief in Islam is not a requirement for citizenship; Because Islam establishes its relationship with others on the basis of their peace with Muslims and their willingness to coexist with them. And do not attack Muslims.
When we see contemporary Islamic political currents, they are strict in their treatment of non-Muslims, and they consider them to be infidels based on verses from the Qur’an. This is an interpretation that deviates from the correct teachings of Islam.

Political Islam
There is a distinct difference between pure religion and political religion. The Islamic State was following the path of true Islam at the time of the Prophet Muhammad and the Rightly Guided Caliphs after him. But then the rulers of the Islamic state deviated from the principles of religion because of their love for the exercise of power and for lusts such as obtaining money, prestige and women. So there has been political Islam and an Islamic opposition that wants to implement the true principles of Islam. Western colonialism also encouraged the emergence of deviant Islamic political movements to achieve its own goals. Al Qaeda, ISIS, the Taliban and others appeared.
The Taliban is an armed Islamic political movement formed in Pakistan. The Pakistani Intelligence and Armed Forces provided support to the Taliban during its founding and after its rule of Afghanistan after the defeat and surrender of the Afghan National Army. Taliban continued to rule until 2001, when fought with the group of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Then it was overthrown after the US invasion of Afghanistan.
The Taliban has been condemned internationally for its brutal treatment of many Afghans and has been accused by the previous Afghan government of being distorting the image of Islam. Nevertheless, America signed an agreement with the Taliban and handed over power to them.

Jizya tax
A tax that was paid by the dhimmis to the Islamic State. The dhimmis are Christians, Jews and people of other religions who lived under Islamic rule. They were under the protection and responsibility of the Islamic State. The state guarantees not to attack or offend any of the dhimmis under any excuse. And even if they do not believe in the Quran or the Prophet of Islam, because the issue of faith will be held accountable by God alone on the Day of Resurrection.
Dhimmis are exempt from military service. Fighting is obligatory for the Muslims in defence of the country, while the dhimmi has security and protection. Islam also exempted women, children, the poor, the elderly, monks and people with disabilities, such as the blind and lame, from paying the tax. Rather, took care and spending on the elderly and the incapacitated people from the dhimmis. Jizya was an amount of money assessed according to their economic condition and paid to the state similar to current taxes.
Before Islam, Greece imposed tax on the inhabitants of the coasts of Asia Minor around the fifth century BC, in return for protecting them from the attacks of the Phoenicians. The Romans imposed it when they conquered (France) on every one of its people about seven times the tax of Muslims.
Dhimmis were non-Muslims of the Islamic State, and those who contracted with Muslims to pay the tax and adhere to peace in return for their survival of their religion and the provision of security and protection for them.
The Quran says:
‘God does not forbid you from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought nor driven you out of your homes. Surely God loves those who are fair.
God only forbids you from befriending those who have fought you for ˹your˺ faith, driven you out of your homes, or supported ˹others˺ in doing so. And whoever takes them as friends, then it is they who are the ˹true˺ wrongdoers.’

Why did Mohammed married still he already had more than 3 wives.. if her age has was to be consider than mohammed also had got raised too...



Polygamy was well known. Khadija was the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad. After her death, he married Suda. Then he married Aisha at the age of 54.
The marriage of the prophets takes place under the guidance of God. It achieves social, religious and political interests.
For example, God decided that Mary would conceive Jesus by a miracle without marriage, with the aim of creating a new prophet. However, the Jews questioned her chastity and accused her of adultery.

The marriage of the Prophet Muhammad to Aisha
Sources differ about her age when marrying the Prophet. Some hadith books narrated that she was six years old when the Prophet engage her, and after two or three years he migrated from Mecca to Medina, and married her. This is not true, as she was much older than that, based on the following:
First: Aisha converted to Islam at the beginning of the mission, and at that time she was young. If we assume that her age at the time of the mission is seven years, for example, then her age at the time of the marriage contract was 17 years, and at the time of the marriage was 20 years.
Second: A source mentions that the age of Aisha when the Prophet married her in the tenth year of the mission was between 13 and 17 years.
Third: Other sources indicate that she was about 13 or 17 years old when she got married, because her sister Asma is ten years older than her; she was born 27 years before immigration.
Fourth: Aisha's father, Abu Bakr, is the second man in Islam, and he was an immigrant with the Prophet Muhammad. It is unreasonable for him to agree to his daughter’s marriage when she is not of marriageable age.
Note: Not everything written about Islam is correct. There are men who entered Islam for the purpose of sabotaging it from within, including Jews. Therefore, Muslim scholars are looking for scientific ways to get to the facts. But the haters of Islam exploit these matters for the purpose of stirring up hatred against Islam.

It is wrong to accuse the Prophet Muhammad of being a war maker. Wars took place before Islam as well, as follows:
Battles of the Arabs before Islam
The Arabs, had worshiped idols and planets, because they were in constant contact with the peoples of the ancient world around them, through: trade, and the migration of tribes, so paganism entered them before the eighth century AD.
The Arabs before Islam fought the following wars:
Wars against each other, which are wars between tribes:
140 years of the Aws and Khazraj war
77 years of the Isfahan war
40 years of the Bassous war
40 years of war of Dahis
4 years of the Fajar War
Total years (301) years
Wars against aggressors, such as;
Shapur II's military campaign on the Arabian Peninsula in 325 against the Arab tribes.
The Roman-Sasanian War was between 421 and 422 a conflict between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Sassanids. The reason for the war was the persecution of Christians by the Sasanian king Bahram, which came as a response to the attacks of Christians against Zoroastrian temples.
The Sassanids besieged the city of Sana'a in 570, which was under Aksumite rule
The Sasanian re-occupation of Yemen in 575 AD, Abyssinian forces occupied Yemen, so the Sassanids re-invaded Yemen later and took control of it.
Wars were bloody in the world, for example, in Europe:
Bloody conflicts tore Europe apart between 1618 and 1648 AD, in which most of the European powers present in that era participated, with the exception of England and Russia. The war erupted initially as a religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants, and then turned into a political struggle for control of other countries.
The St. Barthélemy massacre took place in France in 1572, during which between 5,000 and 30,000 French Protestants were massacred by Catholic authorities and Catholic fanatics. Its aim was to eliminate Protestants completely, under the orders of King Charles IX and his mother, and welcomed by the Pope of the Catholic Church, Pope Gregory, for fear of the spread of Protestantism.

The Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions are not responsible for terrorism. However, some individuals are forming an organization that contradicts the heavenly instructions. Sometimes countries encourage creating terrorist organizations for political purposes.
For example QAnon is an American political conspiracy theory and political movement. It originated in the American far-right political sphere in 2017.
A Pew Research Center study in September 2020 found that nearly half of Americans had heard of QAnon. Of those who had heard about it, a fifth had a positive view of the movement.

Reporter Katelyn Beaty writes for the Religion News Service about how this belief is taking hold in white evangelical churches.

Al-qaeda, ISIS and all other Jihadist organizations are belong to one political movement.

Now, after the dangerous QAnon conspiracy theory helped to motivate the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, with many participants touting their Christian faith — and as evangelical pastors throughout the country ache over the spread of the conspiracy theory among their flocks, and its very real human toll — it’s worth asking whether the time has come for a new wave of outreach to religious communities, this time aimed at evangelical Christians.

RELIGIOUS TERRORISM IN OTHER FAITHS

https://www.jstor.org/stable/45242597

Christian terrorism, a form of religious terrorism, comprises terrorist acts which are committed by groups or individuals who profess Christian motivations or goals. Christian terrorists justify their violent tactics through their interpretation of the Bible and Christianity, in accordance with their own objectives and worldview.

History of terrorism
The roots of terrorism go back to the first century AD, represented by the Jewish Zealots in the Roman province of Judea, where they killed the prominent aides of the Greek rule. In the sixth century AD, Judas of Galilee formed a fanatical sect of Jewish Zealots called the Sicari (meaning dagger men). The syacarians hid short daggers under their coats, mingled with the crowd at festivities to assassinate their victims, and then disappeared into the frightened crowd. Their assassination was the biggest right of the Israeli High Priest, Jonathan.
The term terrorism was used for the first time in the English language during the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution, when the then ruler of the revolutionary state applied terrorist practices that included mass executions using the guillotine to impose obedience by force and spread terror among the enemies of the regime.
In the United States of America
Just before the Civil War, abolitionist John Brown (1800-1859) took up arms, leading attacks between 1856 and 1859, the most famous of which was against an armory. But the local forces regained control of the depot, and executed Brown for treason.

Why delay the punishment for those who disbelieve in God until the Day of Resurrection?
God is Forgiving and Merciful, so He delays the punishment of the infidels to give them the greatest opportunity to repent. He slows down and does not neglect.
The Quran said:
‘Your Lord is the All-Forgiving, Full of Mercy. If He were to seize them ˹immediately˺ for what they commit, He would have certainly hastened their punishment. But they have an appointed time, from which they will find no refuge.’
‘If God were to punish people ˹immediately˺ for their wrongdoing, He would not have left a single living being on earth. But He delays them for an appointed term. And when their time arrives, they cannot delay it for a moment, nor could they advance it.’
‘Do not think ˹O Prophet˺ that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them until a Day when ˹their˺ eyes will stare in horror.’

As for the one who persists in his disbelief and obstinacy, delaying his punishment will lead him for acquiring more sins, so his sins will increase, his excuse will be cut off.
God said:
‘Those who disbelieve should not think that living longer is good for them. They are only given more time to increase in sin, and they will suffer a humiliating punishment.’

The believers at the time of every prophet were few and the deniers were many. After their prophet warns them and they do not respond to faith, God send down punishment on them. For example, God drowned Pharaoh and his soldiers in the sea, and saved the people of the Prophet Moses. After the end of the time of the prophets, the descent of torment was postponed until the Day of Judgment. And the torment of non-believers and deniers begins from the moment of their death, and God will judge them on the Day of Resurrection and they will enter Hell.

Adherents estimates (according to 2010 stats):
Christianity 33%, Islam 24%, Judaism 0.22%, Hinduism 15%, Buddhism 6%, Sikhism 0.35%, Baha’i 0.11%, other religions 10.95%. An estimated number of non-religious 9.66%, of whom 2.01% are atheists.
BBC website report
Is religion dying around the world?
It is expected that the rate of increase in the number of Muslims will reach about 70 percent, as their number will increase from 1.8 billion Muslims in 2015 to 3 billion Muslims in 2060, and thus this group will represent 31.1 percent of the world’s population, while it currently represents about 24.1 percent.
Is Christianity dying?
Today, about 31 percent of the world's population profess Christianity, according to the Pew Center. But more Christians die than those born in Europe, which is the heart of this religion, while Christianity is spreading rapidly in the African continent and Latin America, but this increase does not match the increase in the number of Muslims worldwide.
And what about atheists?
The Pew Center estimates that the percentage of atheists will decline from the current 16 percent of the total population of the globe to 13 percent, despite the increase in their total number from 1.17 billion in 2015 to 1.2 billion in 2060.
Other religions
Buddhism is expected to decline from 500 million people in 2015 to 462 million people in 2060. This is mainly due to the decline in fertility in countries such as China, Thailand and Japan.
It is expected that the number of followers of African, traditional Chinese and indigenous religions in North America and Australia will increase by about 5 percent, bringing the number from 418 million people currently to 441 million.

In the Islamic faith
Jesus is alive, he did not die until now, and the Jews did not kill him, rather they besieged him with his group, so Jesus told his companions that whoever takes his image and goes out to the Jews will have paradise, so one of them came out and the Jews killed him and crucified him thinking that he was Jesus.
It was said that one of those gathered in the house was a hypocrite, and he directed the Jews to the location of Jesus, so God made him in the image of Jesus, so the Jews seized him, killed him, and crucified him.
The Quran says:
Concerning the libel of the Jews and the response to it: And their saying, “We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of God.” But they neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so. Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever—only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him. Rather, God raised him up to Himself.
