You want a combination of whitewashed walls and weak tea, I think. Biscuits as well.

How about whichever one leaves them alone as long as they were left alone? I'm sure you just love whenever I try to convert you to atheism, right? It gets old fast, doesn't it?

oh, I am not saying to incessantly preach to them, but allow them to hear to Gospel and let the chips fall where they may

Being a friend is letting people live their lives the way they see fit.  I'm certainly not surprised by your response.

While most Muslims are decent people, we shouldn't really be "friendly" to Islam....it's a dangerous cult and a very big potential threat to the Western world.

Cult?  Usually when something has 1.1 billion members, it's a bit beyond "cult" status.  Also, threat how?

9/11, 7/7, and the other terrorist attacks carried out in the name of Islam. I define "cult" as something that one is forced into.

So is Islam a cult for the people who are forced into it and not a cult for people who willingly convert? How about people who are born into it? Those make up the bulk of every religion. Are all religions 'cults' given that we're forced into the circumstances of our own birth?

2/10 trolling, would not rage again.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, or if you're asking anything at all, really.

I got that far. Just don't see what it's supposed to mean. Keep in mind that English is only my 2.5th language.

It means 'sentiments shared' or something like that.

By that logic, the Taliban are the friendliest Muslims to Christians.

First, there are no Greek Orthodox Churches, but only one Greek Orthodox Church and many other Eastern Orthodox Church and second, they are surprisingly tolerant of Islam, considering history.

did Jesus not say he was "the gate" and whoever doesn't enter by that gate is a thief and a liar?  did Jesus not say that no one comes to God except though him?

why do you consider it "hard-core" to simply believe what Christ said?

As I mentioned earlier I was thinking more on the lines of Greek Orthodox and Sunni's having good relations in Lebanon.

I said "relatively". And I didn't mean the followers, but the church itself.
