A friend of mine just told me she is a Muslim when I was telling her about my religion. She is very nice and I can trust her to keep any secret. Her parents are from some place near Gordon. I really like her and I think I can trust her not to be like other Muslims(very violent and stuff like that) Please give an honest answer that doesn't include racisim.PLZ

Guys I trust her completely! I am just asking if I am taking a right step. We have been friends for over 2 and and a half years. I am just asking if she is good. Don't take me wrong but I already know that not all Muslims are not violent.

I am just asking if she might be like the others because I really like my friend and I don't want her to go bad or anything. She is a really nice person. She doesn't mind because she always tells me that there was a lot of wars and stuff that her parents lived. AND AGAIN, SHE IS A REALLY NICE GIRL!!!!!!

She is your friend. You should look to her to teach you about Muslims, rather than to strangers to tell you about your friend. If you trust her, and if you have a good friendship, you should be able to ask her to explain why some Muslims want to harm others and how she feels about it. You're lucky: you should both be able to learn a lot about another culture through your friendship.

You shouldn't generalise, especially when calling an entire group of people violent. That would be the same as asking "can I keep a Christian girl as my friend?" Because, let's face it, Christians can be just as bigoted and even violent as Muslims. Ku Klux Klan is a Christian order. With that being said, I don't judge the book by its cover, and if this girl isn't trying to force her religion onto you, it would be ridiculous to cease your friendship.

Whether or not you can trust her should be a seperate issue. If she's a fanatic, muslim or otherwise, then you're likely to run into trouble somewhere along your friendship.
Base your decision on what you know of her so far, leave religion out of it; and finally if you can't decide then that's alright as well. Friendship is all about discovery, take your time.

That is great! I have many muslim friends and every one of them is the kindest person ever. I cherish our friendships completely. Do not judge her based on what the bad people are doing across the ocean. Not everyone is like them - remember that!
Keep in mind that many people will view her as a one of the bad guys and she will need your support when she is a victim of that. Be strong for both of you

How can you possibly caution us not to be racist when you make the statement, "very violent and stuff like that?" Are you not the racist in this little life drama?
In all things, judge a fellow human being by the content of his/her character NOT by the trappings of socioeconomic status, race, gender, or religious belief. To do so limits your personal life experience drastically.

I don't think all muslims are violent!! and I am sure your friend wouldn't be happy if she knew you were asking this question here
if she is a true friend you should trust her because if we can't trust our friends where will that leave us?

The vast majority of Muslims are not violent. Yes you can trust her. She's probably a very nice girl.

If religious differences get in the way of friendship, then there was never a friendship to begin with. Friendship should be based on trust and nothing else.
