...following a question I posted here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApZmOUFP6a9i2Fe0_IIHEU7sy6IX?qid=20061019235215AAVMJ2g
people said I quoted out of context and Muslims are only supposed to oppose Christians and Jews who mock them. (actually, the text is quite ambiguous, imho)
but someone quoted this from the Quran:
[5:57] O you who believe, do not befriend those among the recipients of previous scripture who mock and ridicule your religion, nor shall you befriend the disbelievers. You shall reverence GOD, if you are really believers
...which reads to me that Muslims are not allowed to befriend atheists! Worrying, since I'm an atheist and I have a Muslim coworker who probably thinks I'm Christian!
