I'm not sure if we can make a muslim "stumble" or not, since I do not think they worship the Christian God. But if it furthers their hatred, or causes them to make fun of our God, then it is a wrong thing to "bait" Muslims with Now I am incredibly confused.
It depends on if you consider a muslim your "brother in faith"? Paul said we aren't supposed to make our brother stumble.
If a person truly loves Muslim people and they want them to come to Yeshua, eating a BBQ sandwich in front of them is not the most sensitive way to do it.
If you decided not to eat pork in front of a Muslim, remember you are doing it for Yeshua's sake, not theirs.

I do heartily believe that my actions can either bring shame to my God or they can bring glory to my God. I believe Christians are told to love one another, but to respect everyone else. By my reasoning, this would mean I would bring glory to God by respecting others.
I thought that it was correct that I could not cause a muslim to stumble, because they were not "brothers in faith", but I am not a bible scholar and did not want to sound confrontational.
