Religion is 24/7, or it is not a religion

Hello, Prashant. You said,

"If Muslims can leave their religions at home when they leave home in the morning and pick it up when they come back --a thing that we all do-- that itself will solve 80% of the problem."

Your perception may be a major part of why we are at loggerheads with the Muslims. For your information, neither I nor anyone I know well leaves their religion at home when they leave for work. Being a Christian is a 24/7 enterprise; and if your co-workers don't notice your Christianity at work, you are probably not a Christian.

I don;t expect Muslims to be have differently from myself in this regard; and if I could not see outwardly that a person is a Muslim, I would have little regard for the sincerity of his faith.
