I'm not ignoring you anti, went home sick friday.

I hope you're feeling better.

I got to study both scriptures you listed, these are guidelines given for Christian living, not laws or commandments.

So, except for the 10 Commandments, we get to choose what to follow and what not ("it's just a guideline")? Who decides what's a guideline and what isn't? That's where you get into sectarian wars, where some believe the guideline is law and others don't -- then the one believing it's law claims the other is not a Christian, and the one claiming guideline calls the other fundamentalist. The same thing happens in the Muslim world.

Actually, you know how Jews range from Orthodox to non-observant, but all still call themselves Jewish? The same thing exists in the Muslim world, with people believing in Allah and Mohammed, but they don't follow all of those 1300 year-old rules.

I could go back and forth with you about interpretation, except I believe we have both made our point!

In todays world though, should we really try and place defining a "good" muslime before our own national safety?

The Jewish people for instance, kept their faith together even in prison camps under horrible circumstances, unable to practice their faith.

A wary eye on muslimes in the United States causes them no problems with the practice of their faith - even if they, along with everyone else, can not hear actual, muslime prayers broadcast over mutual airwaves.
