Pete,
Ya hit the nail on the head with that question. It is one I have been asking for years and I get blank stares. At the end of the day, is your muslim friend (when forced to choose) still your friend or will he be your judge and killer if it is decreed?
I believe I know the answer to that question. I will admit that there might be a smattering of them that would stand their ground against that ideology and stand by their nonmuslim friends/family members but that would be like a needle in a haystack.
IMO
