Michelle how r u, how have u been? hope all is well
I dont think I have anything to add on Wel_mel's here except the fact that Muslims can not take non Muslims as freinds.
For a simple reason, a freind is usually consulted in many issues, will u be giving me advice according to Islam teachings if I turn to u? Will u be admonishing me if for any reason I feel reluctant to perform one of the worships? will u be drawing my attention when I fail to compy with any rulings? I can go on. I dont think so. Not because u dont want good for me, but simply because this is not how u live.
So we can not take them freinds, but also we dont have to initiate enmity.
