Who is claiming to hate Muslims?
Does rejection of someone’s intentions equal emotional level hatred?
Mostly, my friends have said I’m wrong to not accept Muslims and try to understand them. They say I shouldn’t be afraid of them because “they don’t believe what you think they do”.
I ask them about ‘taqiyya’, but they don’t have an answer for me. That ONE thing, taqiyya, makes it very difficult (if not impossible) for me to trust what a Muslim says. The part of me that still believes there’s at least a little good in everyone is over-ridden by the knowledge that these people are given permission by their belief to lie to my face. They may tell you they like you and that you’re their friend....right up until they stab you in the back or shoot you in the head.
I have prayed about it, but haven’t received any kind of answer...yet.
(So you know...I’d love nothing better than to sit down with an ex-Muslim who has rejected the evil of their belief and enjoy a good football game while munching on pork rinds and a good cheese and bacon dip.)
