This may be true, but we had a missionary stay with a muslim family in Azerbaijan not long ago. They were very hospitable with him. I may be wrong. Maybe I should just tell this girl to forget it....... that we don't want any "good" muslims living with us. That would probably be the "Christian" thing to do. Maybe we should pull our missionaries out of the Islamic nations. yeah.... that is probably the thing to do. i'm sure Christ would approve of that.
Can A "good" Muslim be a good American?

RB, the "good" in the OP would have been more accurate by stating "loyal", what I think was the point. If you are a "good" american, that means simply you are loyal and support the USA. In this context, a "good" muslim would be loyal to the Quran, Mohammed and Islam. If this person is a "good" (loyal) muslim, that totally contradicts with being a "good" (loyal) american, as we are the enemy!
The girl you are hosting would be well informed in reading this thread, IMO (if she's too young, maybe not). It would be an eye opener for certain! They are brainwashed into thinking that decapitating and murdering infidels is "good" in the eyes of Allah. Comparing Scripture with the Quran would put islam in the light it needs to be in...satanic. -
BTW, it isn't just missionaries being tortured and murdered in islamic countries. Many of those people, probably most, are ex-muslims who have turned to Jesus Christ. Muslims believe that once you are a muslim, especially if you are born a muslim, you can never leave islam. Perhaps prayer for all the muslims suffering under the demonic oppression of islam would be more fruitful than sarcastic retorts. -

Boy, you turn around for a minute and the whole thread goes to hell in a handbasket.

I look at muslims the same way. Without Jesus they are hell bound (John 14:6) There is only one way to salvation period... I hate their ways, actions, and beliefs but I realize again that behind all of that is a lost soul.
I have nearly 21 years in the AF and hopefully God will lead me to my next career where I can be a better witness. -

Luke 18:10. "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11. "The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12. 'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.'
13. "But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'
14. "I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted." -
Slavery was once lawful but the citizens rallyed to change things. Abortion may be lawful but the citizens can rally and change that. -

BTW, we discuss the Catholics, the Mormons, the Charismatics, The Church of Christ, leaders such as Benny Hinn, and so many others. Why should the discussion of Islam get your goat? -
The major problem I have is too many people beating their chests and telling God "I am glad i'm not like that tax collector". Grace and peace -

Even Muslim scholars admit that Mohammed first believed his visions were from demons. It was his wife that convinced him that they were from God. -
Yes, wow, you almost got that right. I am so impressed. Problem with concluding that he was right the first time is that many Christians have had the same suspicion when they first had visions, and didn't some folks in the Old Testament as well? The being who contacted him identified himself as the angel Gabriel.
P.S. if I remember right, there is a difference between a demon and a jinn. A jinn can be good or evil. See:

Any prophet whose visions came from demons would have been stoned to death.
