Explanation of ayah 82 of Sura Al-Ma'ida (5 th sura)

> You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant. According to this ayah, Jews and idol worshippers (e.g., Hindus) will be the staunchest enemies of Muslims. On the other hand, practicing Christians (of any denomination) will be in favor of Muslims. If we consider the current world politics and domestic politics of various countries, this seems to be 50% true and 50% untrue. For example, according to the Pew Research 2019 survey, Eastern European Catholic countries are overwhelmingly anti-Muslim. Also, American evangelical Christians are overwhelmingly anti-Muslim. **So, how is this ayah justified?**
