That was not clear, but I am happy to meet another Christian here.
I believe there is much we can learn from talking to people of different faiths, although it is somewhat difficult if they take the position that their faith is the only right way. Some Muslims are not the only ones that fall into that category. I have seen Protestants that can't respect Catholics, and vice versa, and even some Protestants that can't respect other Protestants. As I understand it, Muslims have the same problem, with the division between the Shia and the Sunni
I cannot believe that God/Allah likes seeing such divisions in His creation.
Everyone should respect the faith of others.
What is really sad is there are some clerics that lie to their members and try to get them to kill innocents and thereby stir up a big conflict to give them more political power (even though Quran 4.93 tells what will really happen to them). These false clerics have some vision that it will result in a new Caliphate, while we have read, in Revelation, what really will happen. I will be happy to see our Lord return, but I would be equally happy to meet him in Heaven when I die.
