How would you feel if you had formed a brotherly bond with a non-Muslim and then found out he has an anti-Muhammad blog? See details please?

Say you met an atheist online who spent many months helping you to learn English, setting aside a lot of his leisure time on your behalf. He kept his thoughts about Islam to himself, but you asked him about it, so he told you the truth: he disapproves of Muhammad, and he'd rather not discuss it further. But he is compassionate and respectful toward you. You ask him to say "Allah" instead of "God", and he complies. He does everything he can to help you with your goal.

One day you google his username and you find that he has a blog that is unkind toward Muhammad. The blog doesn't lie about Muhammad or Islam or the Qur'an, but it interprets the facts in a way that Muslims would consider unfriendly, and perhaps even mocking.

What do you do about this guy who has treated you so well but has a bad opinion of Muhammad? Do you try to get him to stop his blog? What if he refuses? Do you disown him? Do you call him a hater? Can a person who treated you with compassion and respect really be a hater? Please tell me all your thoughts.

    Koran sura 5:51 : " do not make friends with Jews and Christians ".

  • There are atheists, and there are anti-theists. I take both sides depending on the need for being defensive. In a religious world there is frequent need to get defensive. I have met people who call themselves skeptics and who adamantly deny being cynics. Whole lectures on the difference. Yet I see them as total cynics.

    We cannot change Hearts and Minds of people yet we can keep good relations with good souls OR limited contacts if and when required by each other. I know many Good Atheist who follow their way of life but do not involve themselves in Islam bashing.

    What you believe in does not change the fact that you are human. We all have opinions. Just because I believe homeless people are lazy, it doesn't mean i won't help a homeless person. Or even be friends with one.

    As for your religion, I don't think Allah would approve if you betrayed him by giving attention to a disrespectful 'kafir'.

    So if I were you, Id kindly explain this to that friend so he can understand my decision on why I stopped talking to him.

    I don't form brotherly bonds with non-Muslims, any Muslim that knows that a non-Muslim is transgressing the limits is required to not be friends with such people.

    muslims aren't supposed to be friends with non muslims especially those who disagree with your religion and as islam should be offensive to a non muslim. Islam says non believers get tortured forever in hell in the afterlife and as a muslim you have to support that and agree with it otherwise you are disagreeing with god and telling him his wrong

    If said non muslim is telling isn't lying as you say there is no reason the muslim should be offended the truth is the truth. Islam preaches that non muslims are lesser then muslims they can't be leaders of muslim nations, they can't proselytize their beliefs but muslims can.

    Muslims believe its halal to kill apostates, kill homosexuals, and even go as far as to say its okay to take female war slaves and demand sex from them not ask demand

    and if this is the islam muhammad preached why wouldn't someone be anti muhammad

    so you'd condemn him for his thoughts even though his actions have been pure...tough situation...

    He's not bothering you with it so don't worry about it. He has the right to dislike your religion if he wants to.
