Response to dhimmi

There has been much discussion of this in Islam and I believe you have misinterpreted it. It is a common enough error. It is meant that one should be closer to Muslims than to non Muslims because it is better to be with someone who reminds you of Allah. This does not exclude one from having Muslim freinds.
