To a degree - yes I would be.
1. It is my duty as a muslim to tell you about Islam and until that is done - I will be held accountable for not telling you about it. Once you know about it and understand it, you will have a choice to practice it or not. If you choose not to practice islam - then thats cool. I have done my duty to tell you about it and explain the the religion to you. If you have practicing muslims around you who have not shared the religion with you then they will be accountable on the day of judgement for not at least telling you about the religion.
2. As a muslim, it is also my duty to guide other muslims away from commiting sins. E.g. pre-marital sex in Islam is a sin and if I had a friend who I knew will be engaging in pre-marital sex then it would be my duty to remind him of his beliefs and discourage him from committing the sin. Depending on the nature of your freindship with a person and of circumstances there are 3 levels of faith in Islam:
a> If you can actually do something (some kind of action action) to prevent the sin then this is the best of faith.
b> If you cannot take some action but can prevent it by speaking up then this is the second level of faith.
c> if there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent the sin (not even say something) then at the very least - you must not like it with all ur heart - and this is the weakest of faith.
Please forgive me if I had said anything wrong. If there is anything incorrect in my answer then that is from me. If it is any good in it then that is from God. May He forgive me for my shortcomings.
If you would like to know anything else, please drop me a mail.

No, I am not responsible for yours or anyone else's sins, including the sins of the Crusaders and Inquisition.
Jesus gave examples that illustrate that we are responsible for our own actions. Read them in Matthew 24:44-51, Matthew 25:1-13, and Matthew 25:14-30.

There's no way that I could possibly be held responsible for your sins as you are responsible for yourself just like I am responsible for my own actions and self.

No, I'm not responsible for what you choose to do. I don't know anyone that follows a religion that thinks that way. What you do is your business and I don't pay the consequences for your sins. You have to deal with that yourself.

No. We all bear the responsibility for our own sins unless we rely on salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. If so, then he takes the weight of our sins from us.

the only way a religious person can be responsible for your sins is if that particular person led you astray, away from God. the it would be better for hitler on judgement day then for that person. I am quoting scripture (with the exception of hitler) by the way.

No. I'm responsible for letting you know that you are sinning and what the penalty for those sins is.

You are responsible for your sins. As a christian it is my duty to tell you about Jesus--after I've done that--it's your choice as to what happens. Your sins will always be your choice--if you accept Jesus as your personal savior. You can have forgiveness if you choose

It is my duty to tell you of the forgiveness that is offered through Jesus Christ.
But the sin in your life is your responsibility not mine.
