Hi wolf39us
1. If you aren't prepared for a long rocky conversation that can end badly, don't go there. There are people who can handle these guys, but it takes Muslims with Christian or Constitutional backgrounds who can connect with either Christians on the Bible or political types on the Constitution.
If you don't prescribe to either Christianity or the Constitution, it is almost impossible to connect with such people on their level where they won't see you as a threat or division against their sacred laws.
2. You can refer links to the Muslim Tea Party website (I think it's under Muslims4liberty (?) but this might freak them out even more: http://www.illumemagazine.com/zine/artic...ment-14153
For reference, I explained to people that true Muslims are taught to respect ALL sent by God and recognize Jewish, Christian and Muslim as "people of the Book." So the true Muslims are also good Christians following the Bible and also good Constitutionalists because they believe in the same natural laws of democracy that Mohammad established through decrees, including "no compulsion in religion" or religious freedom. Some even go so far as to claim that the Constitutional principles were influenced by precedents set by Mohammad. They are that compatible.
(the Jihadists leaving out Christianity and the Bible from Islam are as "antichrist" as Hitler and Klan considering themselves Christians following the Bible but abusing it for political oppression; people who cannot distinguish Jihadists from Muslims are like people who can't distinguish Klan Zionists or Hitler from Christians.)
If this is not your background, leave it for other people to defend. This is a common issue on political forums and you can refer people there.
