Is loving friends who insult religion considered an act of disbelief? Is preferring a disbeliever over a Muslim in a worldly matter considered an act of loyalty to disbelievers? Does one become a disbeliever if they prefer the West over Arabs and Muslims in terms of work proficiency?

Loving a disbeliever does not expel one from the faith unless that love is for the sake of their disbelief. It is advised to avoid mixing with non-believing friends, as it may lead to evil, and "do not befriend anyone but a believer." Preferring a specific disbeliever over a specific Muslim in a matter unrelated to religion is not disbelief, provided one believes that a Muslim is absolutely better than a disbeliever. Judging the West as superior in work proficiency is not disbelief, but attention must be paid to the fact that the backwardness of Muslims is due to their turning away from the teachings of their religion, and there is no glory for them except by a correct return to Islam. The idea that adherence to Islam is the cause of their backwardness is a false notion.
