I have a junior Muslim friend from my college. 'I had' is a better terminology since we are no longer friends, infact we are more of enemies.. So we used to have heated discussions about our faiths... and i came hard against his faith at one point... mentioning about Jihad and how they are killing us, he was visibly offended and we had a huge war over texts and he was angry, also i asked him why did Mohammed have 11 wives.. yeah i know i did wrong... I know i drove him far from Jesus, yes i can cry over it all day.. Am an idiot.
Now is there any Quranic verse wherein he is supposed to kill me... Cos i know there are verses regarding 'fighting for Allah till they believe..' i can't read the whole Quran to find, let me know therefore. Thank you. My life is at stake u see. And i know he is an angry man, banging chairs, yelling and stuff.
You have to understand about Muslims.
Islam itself might be violent, however, through ahadith Muslims can practice Islam in whatever manner their heart is.
It's difficult to explain, but there are literally thousands of ahadith. And they explain the Qur'an. Yet, you can sit and deny, through the science of ahadith, even those classified as sahih, or true..
The 'which ahadith are accurate' wars teach something, namely, that Muslims follow whats in their heart and accept whatever ahadith has a tendency to back that heart up.. it's literally a religion of itching ears.
There are fine people who are Muslim, there horrible people who are Muslim and there is everything in between.
The liberal Muslim provides cover for the evil Muslims because you can never say "all"..
It's almost a guerilla warfare type tactic. The goal post you can't pin down.
So it is terribly insulting when someone suggests "you" are evil, when your not. You cant presume the beliefs of the one your speaking to.
The best way to speak about matters of faith to the Muslim, is to point out the differences in the two Gods - because they are two who seem alike on the surface but are not.
Whenever you get close to truth, it has a tendency to make people angry. No one wants to be wrong - no one wants to admit their error was as horrible as this one is.. literally spending your entire life in a falsehood.
It's the most difficult thing I think to deal with, and to get over. And people will fight against that feeling.
Who wants to feel the full weight of our error? We can't even bear under such a weight without breaking.
So be truthful, speak against the faith - not the faithful. When you encounter anger, know you hit the right button, and share the love of Christ, and HIS work..
