Yes, I would. In fact, I had a friend in college named Nateen (sp???) that I miss rather a great deal, but I have no way of getting in touch with her again. I will always remember her beautiful smile and her special devotion to Mariam, mother of Isa. She always wore this ring, it was a square, divided into nine smaller squares like a tic-tac-toe board, and each smaller square had a 6 in it. Coming from a christian background, even though I was atheist, this seemed like an awful lot of 666's (3 horizontal, 3 vertical, 2 diagonal), so I asked her about it and she said it had to do with the mother of Jesus.
Yeah, I'll make friends with anyone. Everyone has something to teach me. Sadly, I only have one life time and there are over six billion lessons to learn, I'll never get to all of them. I don't miss a chance then to learn the ones I can.

Yup. Long as people are respectful, I don't care what religion they are.
I have at least one Wiccan friend, I have had some Catholic friends, Lutheran friends, agnostic friends, probably even some religions I'm missing because it wasn't an issue. I had some Japanese friends in college, so possibly some Buddhist or Shintoist friends there.
Religion doesn't become an issue with me until someone attacks me first. Otherwise, I don't care what they believe and am content to leave well enough alone. I choose friends for who they are and how they treat me, not for what they believe.

Individually I have met some very sweet Muslim people, the religion has quite a few problems for me however as does religion generally, I don't share belief in prophets and God and inevitably this becomes a problem, I don't have much to do with members of my own family who are Christians because their beliefs cause conflict, they want their religious beliefs respected whilst disregarding my world-views and treating them as less worthy merely because mine are not religious convictions, I don't think this is reasonable behaviour, it is religious tyranny.

I am a Christian and I judge a person by their character and not by any title or grouping. Too much importance is placed on things of little consequense. My friends know where my faith lies and they know they can be open with me no matter what the differences may be with their following and mine. I think as long as you are strong in your own convictions, it matters not at all. None of us is any less human due to race or religion or sexual orientation, etc. I do not agry with Mohammad and I do not agree with homosexuality. But I do believe that everyone will answer for their own sins when the time comes and mine are probably no less important in the eyes of God than theirs are. That said, I welcome all as friends.

A friend is a friend regardless of colour, religion, sexuality or anything else. It makes no difference to me. And btw I do have Muslim friends

Sure. I love and respect Muslims. Their religion is different from mine. I don't have a problem with anybody as long as they don't say we are all one and our god is one. That is not true. My God is not their god. My God is Jesus Christ. Muslims think Jesus was just a prophet. The Muslim faith borrowed much of our Christian faith and ideas. Why is it that they couldn't see Jesus like we do. That He is God.

as-Salaam aleikum.
I grew up as a Christian, am studying Islam. I am not a good Moslem, but I am open to friendship with others, no matter what religion. What you say you are is not as important as where your heart and mind are.
