Your relatives were simply giving you the caution as for your own sake. It's not about judging and labeling other's nationality. It's undeniable facts that some parts of muslim territory are not safe to go such as: syria...egypt...pakistan..afghanistan etc... The radicals are very dangerous if you encounter one...Im not generalizing the whole muslim community because there are some which are really good like dubai...UAE and others.

Lydz,

Christians should view Muslims exactly the same as any other people who are lost and have not accepted Christ as their savior.

Although Muslims are often attacked for political reasons, what they truly need, and how they should truly be treated, has nothing to do with politics. They should be treated, by the Christian, with compassion, as people who are lost and need to accept Christ as savior.

But while treating them with compassion, we should also remember they are lost, and they are not, according to scripture, our brothers and sisters. When you accept Christ you are "born again" into God's family, and the other members of this new family are your true brothers and sisters... even when you can't get along with them, lol.
:)

Some Muslims will be kind, and some will persecute Christians... but they are all lost, and they all need the gospel.

God Bless,
Max

Hi Max, I really don't understand how come they didn't accept Jesus as our saviour though they know him through the name of prophet Muhammad.Also,I can say yes,seems a lot of them were really lost cause being with them for almost a year now I saw how cruel they are to their servants or I'd rather say slavery is rampant to them.
