There can never be peace on Earth while religions based on the ultra-violent god of Abraham still exist on a large scale.

There are already several places on Earth where Muslims live peacefully alongside people of other religions -- and most of them are in the Middle East. It is only the radical Islamists who are the problem. The extremists are neither the majority nor representative of mainstream Islam.
As for whether or not people of other religions should be wary of Muslims moving in, the current political situation suggests that a bit of wariness is a good idea. Treating every Muslim as a potential terrorist is just as wrong as treating every Black man as a potential mugger -- but ignoring a potential threat out of political correctness is foolish. Greeting the Muslims among us with rejection and hostility is a bad idea. Exercising reasonable caution is not.

I am a muslim myself. I've got friends who believe in buddhism, christianity, taoism, hinduism, and lots more. I live in a multicultural/racial country, Singapore. Thus far, there have been no fights among race or religion. There are mosques, temples and churches and fairness to all of us here. So there can be peace on earth within the islamic religion and the non muslims. I'm gonna digress a bit here..let me tell u that it's not the religion to be blamed, it's the people wrongly protraying the religion that are to be blamed. The Ku Klax Klan are a good example of a group of people protraying the Christianity religion wrongly. And i am sure there are others out there who misunderstand the messages in their own holy books and start to do things that are not favourable to the society. As far as i'm concerned wars occur due to the differences in mindsets of individuals rather than religion. Religion can never be the cause. Religion is just an excuse to create wars n arguments.
Peace!

1) There can be no temporal peace on Earth as long as sin exists.
2) Yes, they should be wary of them, because although many Muslims have been "Westernized" and have learned to live cooperatively with their non-Muslim neighbors in this country, if push came to shove, and some Imam ordered them to "kill their Christian/non-Muslim neighbors or else", they would take up arms and do it. Just look what happened to the Armenians.

Muslims feel strongly that they have the right religion so if you are not one of them you are am infidels. they believe in Jesus who was a Jew so they have some respect for Christians and Jews, but still comes done to they believe they are right and we are wrong. It also says in the Koran that Muslims must make non Muslims pay a tax for not being Muslim, and this tax has to be paid or you die, it is what they call submission to Islam. So yes, you pay the tax and live a life of lower class citizen and you will live in peace but not free.

Few things one should not ask their fellow men...one is politics and the other is religion.
People are wary about those who might even remotely be associated with the founders of 9/11. People have a way of thinking Islam and its like they put their fingers in the electric socket.
Now I am NOT Islamic and am a Christian. And I feel that we follow Jesus who died on the cross for sinners, who ever they may be. He is the person to judge. He is just and forgiving. HE is God. If HE were to be wary of His people, would we survive?
BE CHRISTIAN I say to one and all. Peace-loving, forgiving, compassionate, kind, understanding....Man, there is so much good we can do with God on our side.
Why be WARY?

Peace with Christ!
Now we have learned from the Bible that the Rapture of the true believers of Jesus Christ will occur on May 21, 2011 AD, which will be five months before the end of the world on October 21, 2011 AD
"And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man." (Revelation 9:5)
The Bible is a Book that is absolutely true and trustworthy. It is the centerpiece, the keystone of this study.

Islam is a religion of peace and love, much like Christianity. I would have no problem with a Muslim in my neighborhood so long as they are a "real" Muslim, embracing what their religion teaches, not an extremist who distorts it into something hateful and violent.
