I received this reply on a pm from a member, I wonder why she did not post it herself which I thought I must post it here. Yet I also think I must make more search on this point specially.

Salaamu ALaykum sister,
I think you telling Michelle we cannot be friends with non-muslims is uncalled for and is confusing for her. We can be friends with non-muslims but allegiance is with the muslims Yes in terms of religion you consult muslims. But friendship is more than that . You know your place, but exchanging gifts and talking and being kind to each other that is friendship and that is allowed in Islaam. so I think, be careful in use of friendship. It is allowed but allegiance is always with Muslims and Islaam who are on the right path.
