Tell them to shut up. There is no compulsion in religion and its not the God design to convert people to Islam with force.
I am a Muslim. Why don't you ask your friends to talk to me regarding Islam?

What country do you live in?
If I knew that, it would make answering your question a little easier.
I'll give you some advise none the less.
First, you are going to have to learn to spell your words properly now that you are in a college. They will not even read your submittles if you don't
Secondly, Don't allow them to separate you into any groups. This is the start of division and doing this will cause strife later on.
Thirdly, Being a Christian should not have anything to do with where you are or with who you are with.
We all should respect each other and their beliefs not to mention their lifestyles.
Think like Jesus Christ, act like Jesus Christ. Read His Word and live the life God blesses you with.><>

If you have any knowledge of the muslim faith, it's best to talk to them about religion when they want to talk about. If you don't know anything about their faith, you should learn so that you can discuss it intelligently.
What does it say about Christians if we shy away from any discussions of religion with those who don't believe the same as us? I think it says that we are not confident in our faith, and not very intelligent either. I think Jesus would rather you be a witness, not by preaching at your friends, but by being a friend and talking to them. It would be good for you too! You'd learn a lot, and you'll feel good about yourself for being able to communicate well with people of other faiths.

I'm sorry for your situation. Life, especially the Christian life, is not easy. Perhaps after a few weeks you'll have settled down, it's always tough to be in a strange place at first.
If you need someone to talk to in the near future, e-mail me or one of the others here who you might feel comfortable with.

This is real bad poor you! So what you do is this turn to your friend and say I don't want to walk out and have you angry at me but I can't take this any more so if I have to leave and you don't want to come me that's okay. Then turn to the religious self rightest righteous zealots and say look I'm tired of talking and having to answer questions all time about religion lets' talk about something else.

Just let them know you are Christian and that should be fine. Muslim religion is supposed to get along with people of the book (Christians).Just nicely let them know you would prefer not to discuss religion and are not looking to convert.

Mostly good answers.
I agree, politely tell them that you respect their Religion and ask that they respect yours.
If they and you want to discuss religion, stop the minute you feel like you have to attack theirs or the minute they start attacking yours.
Knowledge and understanding are good things, but friends should respect each other.
God Bless You!

be honest with them. tell them that you respect their religion and you would like them to respect yours in return. there are many other conversations you can have which would benefit all more. such as the similarities rather than differences in your cultures and societies. remember to discuss and not argue as discussion promotes learning wisdom and knowledge while arguments lead to anger and resentment. take advantage of this situation to learn about the differing culture and society as this is an excellent opportunity to learn. i envy you.

You may of been put in that situation for a reason, to witness to your muslim friends.
Just pray that the Lord will guide you in your actions and what to say to witness to them. One of the best things to do is to read and know the Bible and use it as a witnessing tool.
