Umm why would you be 'friends' with someone you don't like?

good point although some people use the word "friend" loosely

This has the potential to become inflammatory and abusive very quickly and I don't think I can in good conscience allow this to remain open.

Muslims are a vibrant part of the Australian societal fabric and they deserve a lot more dignity than "do you have Muslim friends and what is your response to them?" which is quite demeaning in that it implies that somehow we need to discuss our response to them (wtf??). Except for the fundamentalists which number very few, they are decent human beings like you or I and as such, deserve our respect.

Lastly, substitute "Jewish" or even "Christian" with "Muslim" to see how offensive this post is.
