... “If Allah does not love sinners, neither does he tell Muslims to give universal love to others. In fact he commands his followers, “Do not take as close friends other than your own people” (sura 3:118). The Encyclopedia of the Qur’an explains that in Islam “one can truly love only [fellow] believers, since love for unbelievers separates one from God and . . . is equivalent to lining up on the side of the enemies of God. “This stands in stark contrast to Jesus’s command to his followers to love their enemies.
“Therefore, Muslims and Christians might all be on a path seeking a divine presence, but the Muslim divine presence is radically different from--and in fact opposed to--the Christian divine presence. The Qur'an tells Muslims to kill non-Muslims, including Christians: Surah 9:5: "Then kill the disbelievers (non-Muslims) wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush …"
“Religious diversity in the abstract might be a wonderful thing because it represents religious freedom. But sentimentalist cliches can obscure the hard truths that the Christian and Muslims paths go to very different places. One destination is marked in fact by an absence of love.” ...

Honestly, I can’t imagine socializing with a Muslim. I have no problem with Jews, Hindus, Buddhists or whatever. But I figure Muslims want me dead. I keep my distance.
No x 1000!
No bacon and pork chops? Fagedaboutit.
They must be exterminated.
I know of at least one local ELCA Lutheran parish that has a partnership with a mosque, including sharing Iftar meals!
Yet another good reason that I became Orthodox!
You and me both.
Pronto.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.Colossians 2:16-17
I attended an Iftar dinner in Iraq. We were invited by the Iraqis we were training and supporting at the Ministry of Interior.
If was nice. I never got used to the whole eating everything with their hands thing, though. They understood this and provided utensils for us infidels.
A political Iftar dinner!
If you truly love muslims, evangelize them if you can!
If the meal is halal, I refuse to take one single bite.
THIS. Christ Himself said love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. This kill ‘em all mentality is unchristian. Period.
Eating a Ramadan Dinner is the same as attending a gay wedding.
It only adds acceptance to evil. Don’t do it.
Nope. But if you wish to convert and have more than one wife and live in a home that has no furniture or decoration, learn the way of jihad, visit Mecca, allow them to usurp your freedom [ a quality righteous muslims hate ] & support murdering all Jews everywhere, then by all means, go ahead on it.
A 1000 times NO!
No. You are not welcome. They are taught to hate non-muzlims.
No. Nor should we help them celebrate the end of Ramdon.
