How to Respond to Muslim Neighbors

[Kai]

I am praying about how to reach out to them and I know the main way NOT TO is to go the full "MAGA" or "Christian Nationalism" route.

I couldn't agree more. Somewhere along the way, MAGA and Christianity started to be seen as two sides of the same coin, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Furthermore, all Christian nationalism could ever accomplish is creating a nation of people doing religious stuff without an actual conviction of the Holy Spirit.

The best way to treat our Muslim neighbors is the way we'd treat anyone else who holds a differing religion or worldview—with respect and dignity towards them as a fellow image bearers, while remaining thoughtful and sincere in sharing what we believe to be true.

1 Peter 3:15 (ESV)
but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect

Converting Muslims to Christianity has nothing to do with politics, MAGA, or DNC ideologies.

We will win Muslims to Christ by demonstrating the love of Jesus and proclaiming what He has done in our lives.

Killing Muslims is not going to solve anything.

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

You're right it has nothing to do with politics, MAGA, or DNC ideologies. It has everything to do with the people professing those ideologies while spewing hate towards anyone different from them and those who disagree with them. They are in each of those organizations as well as churches. I know a white guy who is married to a black woman. He was an elder in the church he went to. Other leaders in the church were saying crude things about white people being married to black people. He left.
