Do you know why?

Why is there a verse in the Quran that addresses Muslims not to befriend Christians and Jews?

My dearest Muslim, Christian, and Jewish brothers & sisters:

The truth is that the Muslims, Christians, and Jews, know that Mesiah will one day come back. The second thing is the Christians beleive that Armegeddon will also happen right? Well, in Armegeddon, there will be a world war and only one group of people will survive. Who? the ones that aid the victors of the war. Well this religious belief supposedly proves the following:
1. The Jews right now are dying to grasp Jerusalem
2. Who ever wins over Jerusalem is the victorious one
3. The Jews think that they are the chosen people and therefore, they will win.
4. The christians are aiding them right now because they believe that whoever aids the true side will be saved.
5. The Muslims are all alone in this.

In addition, what does this exclusionary conclusion lead to? Well, the christians and jews will aid together and therefore, the quran is warning the Muslims what will happen in time of War.

The Koran is stating to not befriend them at this moment, not to not befriend them ever!..duh!...oh goodness why is this so hard for the Christians and Jews to understand. I am sure that many Christians and Jews don't want to befriend Muslims because they are so Islamophobic..so why are they so concerned about us not befriending them???
