I think you've confused the Sermon on the Mount with some other part of scripture.
Apparently you've never read it, so here's part of it:
quote:
Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. That's what we've been talking about.

And yes your peaceful Muslim friends COULD suddenly stab you in the back if things reach a point where they feel it's time to obey Allah on that point.
I trust Muslim Canadians much farther than I trust Christian Americans.
