Muslims claim Islam is a religion of peace. However, unlike Christianity, Islam believes in the concept of self defence, which Christianity does not condone.⁠

Matthew 26:51-53 - With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. 52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?⁠
I think vs 51 can be left out⁠

Luke 22:50-51 - And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. 51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.⁠

Matthew 5:38-39 & 43-45 - “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.⁠

Many Christians have transgressed the teachings of Jesus and have wrongfully used violence in the form of self defence. However, when a Muslim does this, he is acting in accordance of what the Quran allows.

If you drop a bomb on my family, I might come after you, too! :)

Jesus chose half of them as being part of Ishmael that don't worship Baal (Romans 11:4-10). Because each religion has its own tares & wheat (Matthew 13:47-52), and is it God of Israel was God of all nation and all mankind ?
Yes, and He don't take a favouritism to all mankind. As a christian we should not call ourself as being most righteous rather we should call ourself as an unworthy servant because we never know and cannot measure the deep knowing & compassion of God (Luke 17:10; Ephesians 6:4-9; 1 Corinthians 4:6-14). Those who lost themselves into evil or becoming terrorist doesn't know God and don't like the peace for their own lives where God is the source of all peace.

If I was to judge Christianity by you, Mr. Amos, I'd conclude that it was not a "religion" of peace.

I've known one Muslim in my life. He is a friend of my son. I've known him for eight years. He has always treated me with respect. The only time he has offered his faith to me was when he saw that I was struggling. I said, "No thank you," and that was it.
I've gone fishing with him. He's a friend. We don't hang out all the time. He is a hard-working man. I see no reason to be enemies with him.
I have Muslim neighbors. They are nice people. I've learned they are great cooks. They just want to raise their families in piece.
I read an article recently where, long ago, the Muslim and the Jew stood in the streets of Jerusalem, side by side, defending their city from crusaders.
Their blood ran together, shed, "In the name of Christ."
We need to remember that there are powers that want to divide us. Powers that own the media. Powers that lie to us.
The Muslim is my neighbor. :)

Because he is made in the image of God.
That isn't what Islam teaches the Muslim. Islam teaches that Isa, their name for our Jesus, was not divine and was not the son of God , Allah, because Allah has no son.

Only believers in God in Christ are our sisters and brothers. All others are asleep and dead in their sins.

He's your neighbor but he is not your brother.
And unless he repents and finds Christ, he will die condemned in his sins.

Do you try to lead him to Christ?

If I clubbed him over the head with the gospel, I'd destroy what I see the Holy Spirit doing with him.

Pray that the Lord gives him a dream or a visitation maybe. Muslims can indeed be kind, good-hearted people, so I know what you are saying.

But at the same time A@g is right. You have to pray that he finds out the truth; that Isa is not just a prophet but the Son of the Living God, and the only door man can walk through into eternal life.

Thank you, Hidden In Him. Bless you, too!
The last time he was here, I caught him staring at me out of the corner of my eye. He didn't seem to realize that I saw him.
He could see Holy Spirit's presence on me. He was marveling at Him!
I know that he knows exactly what I believe.
We have a mutual friend with whom he smokes weed, who is a Christian.
Young people today! You gotta love them. And I do.
Remember, weed is legal (unfortunately) where I live.
I wanna move to Texas! Lol!

Religion today is considered a denomination. A set of beliefs that a group follows. But the the apostle wrote that pure religion is to visit the widows and orphans in their afflictions and to keep yourself unspotted from the world.
I read a story one time about how the government trains their people to be able to spot counterfeit money. They study the original to be able to spot the counterfeit ones. Those in Christ by knowing the truth can spot the counterfeit religions. If that religion does not teach the saving grace that is in. Christ it is not of God.
