That's how it is in my neighborhood. We acknowledge and greet our neighbors of different faiths, and respect their faith traditions. It's really not that hard, you know.
It's good that people of different faiths in your neighborhood can get along.
If you ever take a serious look at the life of Muhammad,
you would become more wary.
I'll not go into detail here, but in short, he was very much like today's Taliban.
I acknowledge that your Muslim neighbors are peaceful.
I don't know if that's their true sentiment,
or if it's because they're not a majority yet.
A local TV station ran a story last December about a Muslim grocery owner
who, as a gesture of goodwill, had Santa Claus visit his store
and give presents to the neighborhood children.
Many individual Muslims are fine people.
But the Muslim religion has a long history of violence, right from the start.
There are at least a couple of well-known examples of Muslims
who grew up in peaceful Muslim families
who decided to "be more like Muhammad."
One is the guy who drove his car onto a crowded sidewalk
at The Ohio State University.
Another is the guy who killed all those people
at The Pulse nightclub in Orlando Florida.
A tiny minority of Muslims are active fighters.
A somewhat larger number provide support.
A yet larger number sympathize with them.
A majority (I suspect) don't oppose the violence
out of fear of being victimized themselves.
(One could say that Islam doesn't have a billion believers,
it has a billion
hostages!)
And some may be "playing peaceful"
to lull non-Muslims into complacency,
until Muslims become a majority in that country.
Reality is a long way from being as simple as we would like.
In the end, we will all be judged as individuals,
and it's best if we treat one another as individuals.
