Islam's not a disease; exposure is not a taint.
It's a tad bigoted to say that because 19 Muslims hijacked some planes and killed a lot of people, the population of ~1 billion Muslims around the world are not to be trusted and even spending time with them makes a person suspect.
I guess you could also turn around and say Christians aren't deserving of trust because of the Crusades and Inquisitions, and heavens, I know a pastor or two in my area, I guess I'm not worthy of trust. |
Hi Iandefor
I am sure we could split hairs all night on who's who..where and when..
by all means lets do..we only have over 90 terrorist cells here in the states already..oh wait..that was two years ago..surely they have increased..get my point? so who is my brother? good question..lets just say I go with my gut..would I associate with a Muslim..sure..do I have to trust them? no. I havent seen to many that are friendly here where I live at all. However..I will cut some slack..very little. Its not to say..abandon all kindness to them..but beware..or ..be smart moreover..
If your preference is not to trust the Christian..then dont..no-one is breaking your arm to do so..Now trusting the Lord..well thats another story..that you do on your alone time..before the Lord and in prayer..
Truly..if Christ sent a Muslim into my path..with reason, then I know what my mission is..but to blatantly trust them one by one and on a casual note..well its the blind leading the blind..
