Who would care more I will address first. The Christians. I don't think the Atheists would want to get involved, plus there's lots of people who don't even get to know their neighbors. So there's a good chance they wouldn't even care. Now, If a Christian really lives by "love thy neighbor," they will be obligated to try to "help these people get to know Jesus..." and go knocking on the door... and Muslims, well, they feel the same way about Allah and Muhammad, and they should agree to disagree. Alas, this is not usually the case, seeing how most Christians can't even get along- the Lutherans believe different things than the Baptists, and then there's the Free-Will Baptists, and forget the Catholics, the Christians don't even count them, "They worship MOTHER MARY? this is an outrage!)... and so I think lots of them think they love their neighbor. But it is easier to say a thing, rather than to do it. Blessed be.

Why should we feel any different about Muslim's. God made us all. I love all race of people, we should treat all people the same. I feel Christians would care more, but they shouldn't. If we all was as faithful to our faith as the Muslim were, it would be a much better world to live in. If we had the laws that they had, there would be so much less more crime. I am white and a American. But this is how I feel. And I'm a christian...

It depends on the person. Some christians might want to convert their neighbors (....which they might consider loving). My christian parents had some muslim neighbors....they were nice people and my parents got along fine with them, with no conversion attempts. But, an atheist wouldn't care either way.

We forget to see people as individuals sometimes when labels are imposed upon us. Christian and Muslim are the labels in this case. Obviously, if any neighbors move in, you should be nice to them and get to know them. If then you don't like them, then that is your choice.
Just like you can't label ALL Muslims as terrorists (which is really ridiculous if you think about it), you can't label ALL Christians as judgmental and hateful (though sometimes I find myself even thinking that about Christians since I've been subjected to their harsh judgments).
Christians should always love thy neighbor, and any church that tells them to do otherwise, any church that tells them to hate and judge another group of people, is NOT teaching the gospel.

I'm not Christian, I'm Muslim. This is a very good question as I'm interested. Most of my neighbors are very nice.
I live in New Jersey by the way, so its already very diverse.

I am of the Christian Faith. I have lived and worked in and around different races, cultures and faiths... aint none of it rubbed off on me yet. I do not have any hatered for individual muslims. But I dont have to bow to their beliefs at the point of their sword... or, in the case of those invading my country, their new found marketing strategy.
The Christian Faith is from God's call to the individual... God is color blind and he do'nt care about man invented religion or borders. All are welcom who come to Him in The Way He proscribes.

It matters not who your neighbors are. We are to respond to everyone with love. I have had a muslim neighbor before he went back to Palestine. Real nice. And I am a Christian too. And he knew it and I've told him about it. And I still love him.

No problem with loving my Muslim neighbour. Why should that make a diffierence?
In the Bible the "Good Samaritan" picked up and sorted out, and paid for the care of someone who was a sworn national enemy (bit like Israel vs. Palestine), if that story was good enough for Jesus to tell, to remind peolpe of our love for humaity, then no reason not to love my Muslim neighbour, my Seikh neighbour, my Atheist neighbour and even my elderly next door neighbour who keeps putting our dustbins out for us!

Just because a person chooses a different religion than someone else doesnt mean that the 2 people cant b friends. And by the way, it doesnt literally mean your neighbor. It means all of humanity .
