If you had a choice (because of what the media is feeding us), which would you prefer and why?
How do know what religion your neighbors are?

And how is it your business???

If you show up on MY porch asking nosey questions, you are going to get shooed away!

That's so weird. I worked with two great Iranian guys back in Germany - definitely Muslim - and they didn't behead me one single time. Do you think they were saving me for a special occasion?

I don't know any Muslims who follow Sharia law. The only Muslims I have known have immigrated to North America and have adopted North American laws.

I don't, so the question doesn't apply. My neighbors might be Jewish or Catholic or any of dozens of other religions. I've never cared one way or another, so I really haven't a clue which one they are, if any.

I think you'll find this true of most people.

You might have to redirect your question, toward liberals who always examine people for Jewishness, or for African ancestry, or for whatever groups they are looking to find victimization in.

Normal people generally don't do that, and don't care "what" their neighbors are.

I respectfully disagree. Being a neighbor in my area meant knowing all about the person next door. Being able to wish them the appropriate holiday response, knowing what to serve when they are invited over, knowing what not to say out of courtesy. All this seems lost in neighborhoods these days.

Canned responses are good for answering canned questions.

OK, now go to Iran or any other Muslim nation and invite the same two Muslims to visit a non-Islamic house of worship with you.

I would opt for the follower of Islam. Remember I never said radical.
