There are lots of ‘bad’ Muslims that can be reached for Christ. I know a few, and we talk to them from time to time. I have a couple of friends who are much better at it than I am- they’ve actually lived in the ME before, and understand the Koran much better than me, and they’re perfectly comfortable hanging with them, hashing out theological debates and making invitations to grace.
These are the types of things the church had better wake up to if we truly intend to bring salvation to them.
If we don’t, Jesus will be our judge.
PugetSoundSoldier: some day your CAD engineer's imam may want him to commit acts in support of the global Jihad. At that point he will have to choose between being your friend and being a faithful Muslim. He cannot be both. He may think he can, because the choice has not yet been put to him. He may even believe he can be both for a while, as long as his pro-jihad acts do not directly harm you, but he will eventually need to fully commit to one side or another.
