Atheists and Muslims relationshps?

Question

Hello, everyone.
I'm stuck and hope atheists will give an advice.
I have a Muslim friend. I helped him, he helped me, we spent a lot of time doing some funny things together. Now we live in different countries but once I went to visit him abroad.
He knows that I'm an atheist and never really tried to convert me although sometimes he asked me to rethink about my attitude towards religion and this world. 
He is really serious about Islam, always prays, doesn't drink alcohol or eat pigs, so on. He follows everything that is said to be good for Muslims.
Recently he told me about one event with his wife. we are not friends with her but not complete strangers. So I replied that "his wife's name" is a really nice and beautiful lady. To him. Not to her. Via online chat and got a reply later, that because I'm a stranger(what?) to his family(and everyone else is because doesn't belong to their families) and should call her Mrs. Name-of-his-wife. He feels better that way. And I just wanted to tell him that he is a really lucky guy who found a really great girl for him so I was really confused. Later a Muslim community said he is right bc such words lead to sins. Yeah, right...
I've read a bit about Islam after that and found a part which says Muslims cannot be friends with non-believers, but can be nice to them in order to keep non-aggressive environment and convert them afterwards. I was like WTF?!? 
So.... Does anyone have good Muslim friends and I'm oversensitive? Or is it a dead end?

Well i don't that you have done anything wrong actually, if you 2 are friends i think you have the right to call his wife by name i mean thats the least thing.

And it's true that muslims shouldn't take non believers as friends because that can generally lead them to bad things. They can go out with them if its for the right reasons but shouldn't do it reguarly. Anyway that's what islam says but a lot of muslims do have friends from other religions.

A lot of cultures are more formal then Britain/America.  If I were talking to a German friend I wouldn't dream of using his wife's first name unless I had been invited to do so.

I'm sorry to say, but the big problem will be in "below link."

No matter how nice you are, how good is your relationship, we will be facing in a dreadful situation in the afterlife, because everybody wants to excuse himself and start blaming anyone including his best friend.

.....that Abraham shall deride his father, and Adam all reprobate men: and this shall be because the elect shall rise again so perfect and united to God that they shall not conceive in their minds the smallest thought against his justice; therefore shall each of them demand justice, and above all the messenger of God. As God liveth, in whose presence I stand, though now I weep for pity of mankind, on that day I shall demand justice without mercy against those who despise my words, and most of all against those who defile my gospel......

All religions are full of crap. Islam especially. If he has been programmed to do stupid things...and he asks you to do the same...in this case...do it. Just don't go slamming airplanes into BUILDINGS.
