My friend is Muslim and i went to her masque (?) and her dad was like, preaching, and then he said, "Do we want to become Christians? no. Do we want to become Jews? no." and I am a Christian. I'm kinda mad at my friend's dad for saying that when i was there, but my friend doesn't want me to tell any of my parents.
and if I tell my parents, they probably won't let me go to her house anymore. Should I tell my parents?

Probably not, just don't go to the mosque anymore. They don't want to become christian just like you do not want to become a muslim.

Hey, hon.
Your friend's dad did not insult your religion. In any way. He stated what was truth for the people in the mosque.
Look at it this way. You love chicken, and you go to your friend's home, knowing they are vegetarians. A KFC commercial comes on televison and your friend's mom says, "Do we eat chicken? No. Will we ever eat chicken? No."
This is not an insult to your own love of chicken, it is the mom saying chicken is not for her or her household.
What your friend's dad said was true for him, the people he was with, and the environment he was in. For all you know that is said regularly. Even if it isn't, it's not as if Muslims not wanting to be Christians or Jews should come as a shock, or even a mild surprise.
One more perspective. If your friend visited your church, and your pastor said that no one there wanted to be a Muslim, would you think your pastor had insulted your friend or her religion?
There was no insult. You were in their 'home' and they made an observation based on their beliefs.
If you want to hear people say that they want to be Christians, only visit churches where the congregation believes as you do.
Hope I helped. God bless you. †
Happy 2008!!!!

As a Christian, I already would have banned you from the Muslim household simple because it is so easy to steer a young person a different direction. Your friend would always be welcome at our house. I would be reluctant to allow you to attend their mosque because their faith is so different. If I ever let you go, it would only be when it did not interfere with services with our church family and I would follow up with what's different about Christianity and the Muslim faith. It would be a difficult situation because (and I'm sure your parents would feel the same) I would want you to keep your friend and possibly even plant the seed of conversion with her. But I wouldn't want to risk your salvation doing it. To answer your question, as a parent, I say tell your parents. But you knew I'd say that anyway.

That's the insult? Saying he doesn't want to become a Christian?
Look, he didn't insult your religion. He just said he didn't want to convert. The majority of people on Earth are not Christians and do not want to be. Why that offends you I really don't know.
It was implied? What was implied? Obviously the guy disagrees with Christianity, that's why he's a Muslim. If you perceive "Do we want to become Christians? No" as an insult, then how exactly would you like religious freedom to work?
If you're actually so incredibly sensitive that you consider someone not wanting to share your unsupported beliefs as an insult, then why on Earth did you go to a mosque? Did you think the people were only there because the church was booked?

Yeah i know exactly how you feel.. I once went to a muslin gathering where many Christian ministries were invited by the muslin speaker and the speaker said Jesus was a good man and a prophet but nothing more, and the Christian preachers he has invited just sit there and said nothing. I felt that since He had invited Christian and guess he showed no respect for Christian beliefs by making that statement. I felt really insulted..

This is coming from a Muslim. Your friend's dad should not have said that, because I'm assuming you're a rather religious Christian to take something so small in offense. It's my opinion that God loves all good people and doesn't really mid their religion, as long as they lead a good and honest life. I'm not sure what you should do about your friend's dad. How religious are her family? How religious are your family? Maybe you should ask your friend to just quietly ask her dad not to say things like that in front of you.
Why did you go to a mosque in the first place anyway if you thought you mgiht hear something that could offend you?
Peace and lurve.

I would file a complaint with the civil rights commission against the school for promoting anti-Jewish or Islamic doctrine or the liberal anti faith atheist belief system Then I would write my congressperson and request the school not get any federal tax money because it is using the money to promote religious views consistent with Adolf Hitlers state atheism. The school will love the paper work. The truth is you are hated and if you act they will become quite contrite. Also report the teacher to the anti-defamation league. When you go to class take a small recorder, if he asks just say, legally collecting evidence for legal purposes

Maybe you should tell your parents. See what they would do or say about it. You could learn a lot from them. My son will always trust me because I am loving and understanding. Talk to your parents like an adult and you may see some results. God bless you and your kin. Also don't listen to a man like that, and don't hang out with angry people. Paul says if you hang out with angry people you most likely will become angry person to.

You should just chalk this up to experience, since you didn't go to the Mosque to join the Muslim religion but rather to experience something new and different.

Mans down fall is when he believes he has the truth. All religions believe they have the truth. Basically that is what the serpent told Eve listen to me and I will tell you the truth, you can hear the same sermon every sunday morning. Seek those who are seeking the truth
