How should we as Christians relate
to our Muslim neighbors today?
Harriet Warren
|
I would say with an attempt to understand and accept their beliefs and position. We are all seeking the same God, but have a different way of getting there. |
Ray Handley
|
I would say with love and try to get to understand them and their religion. To treat them as neighbors and show the same respect as with any other neighbors. |
Rev. Lloyd Miller
|
I think we should relate to Muslims. It is important that we look at them as persons seeking God. We need to find ways to live peaceably with them, and try to understand them more fully. And be willing to share our faith. |

I work with several Muslim high school students each
day. However, during class I am focused on the teaching task at hand. |

As far as being around Muslims, treat them as we treat anybody else. They are probably as strong in their beliefs as we are. Listen to their point of view as well as asking them to respect ours. We are not supposed to be judgmental. If you listen to people who believe in the Koran, they are taught to not be judgmental either. We need to have a non-judgmental approach. |
