What should Christian’s response to Muslims be?

Q: Should Christians withdraw from the Muslim community?

A: “That would be an entirely wrong approach. There are people in every city in America who believe the Islamic faith and have peaceful intentions. And there are those who have evil intentions. And you can’t – you just can’t broad brush everyone and say, you’re an evil person. It’s just like in Germany in the Second World War. There were the Nazis, who were fanatically following Hitler. There were lots of German people that resented Hitler. They even entered into a plot to kill him, but couldn’t pull it off. Still they were Germans. They were loyal to Germany, but the Nazis were loyal to this mad man, who was trying to destroy the world, or at least bring it into his own vision of a racially pure Arian world. So even now, we are faced with this situation. Engage that person. Extend friendship to them. You know there’s something about the spirit of truth, and there’s something about the spirit of goodness that when you reach out to goodness and when you reach out to truth. It reaches back to you. And there’s a connection. The people on the street call it “a chemistry.” You feel a chemistry with that person. They were a real human being. They have real compassion. They have real love. They have real dreams for their children and so forth. When you talk to someone who’s inherently evil, and they’re plans are pernicious, and you reach out to them, you know instantly that they want nothing to do with you; that they have something else on their agenda, and are the enemy. That person, withdraw yourself from. But the person that extends their hand in friendship, you extend your hand back to them in friendship. And that way the average citizens will be able to decipher the good from the evil. And everything in the Universe boils down to those two things. It’s either good or it’s evil. It’s light or darkness. It’s right or it’s wrong.
