No, i have had friends between the Muslims, i have had their help when the "christians" did not want to help, it happened to me.
And i have had their respect. I am more scared from the bad christians sometimes. I am a christian, but I dont want to be soooooo afraid of other people.I do not want to hate.I thing if we could talk more all between us, would exist less scare. And more comunication. For that is good yahoo answers for example.

People with blind, extremist faith in ANY religion scare me. Cases in point: Pat Robertson, Eric Robert Rudolph
There are extremists in every religion. Look at Northern Ireland; the Protestants and Catholics believe in the same virgin birth, and they're killing one another over it.
Live and let live. That's the path to peace. God has more to worry about than whether Adam is kissing Steve, and whether you believe that you're a descendent of the Christian lineage of Abraham, as opposed to the Jewish Lineage, to not be confused with the Muslim lineage. (Yep, all three believe to be descended from Abraham. Who'd a thunk it, huh?)

I'm a blonde hair, green eyed American girl (baptized Catholic, though not devout)...my boyfriend is a very sweet British Muslim, so no they don't scare me. Alot of my college professors and fellow students are Muslims, too. You've really got to look at people on an individual basis...it's not fair to generalize a group of people based on their religion or anything else. When I ask my boyfriend about the "terrorist" Muslims...he just shakes his head and talks about how they ruin all image of Islam. And that's like saying all Catholic priests molest children...not all of them do! Most don't. But a few bad can ruin it for everyone. The funny thing is: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam aren't all that different--they worship the same God, and the differences lie in the prophets that each religion follows. It's sort of sad really, people do stare at us when we go out...people have even told us things, until my boyfriend replies with his British accent....that look of surprise is always funny. :-) He is an honestly peaceful person, and much easier to get along with than I am! He hasn't got outlandish ideas or beliefs, he's just a normal person.

The Muslims we should be scared of are actually just a small minority of fundamentalists. All in all, Islam is more of a peaceful religion that Christianity (I come to bring not peace, but a sword).

Absolutely not. I have good relations with many Muslims and they are very nice people. My first friend in High School was Muslim, I was eating lunch alone untill she came over and invited me to her table. That was 6 years ago and I still remember that. There are bad people in the Muslim population, but there is not a single religion on this earth that is perfect and without fault. To judge a human being, one must judge the human, not superficial traits as in what religion they were raised in or their skin color etc...

Not really, my mom dated a few and they were so good to her. But their ideas scare the heck out of me. I can't even think about it.
