As in all such cases, a distinction must be made between the individual soul, created "in God's image" and a people as a whole. Christ Himself made this distinction. Thus, we have the "good" Samaritan, the Roman centurion with "great faith" not seen in all Israel, etc. At the end of time, Christ will judge not only individual souls, but nations and peoples.
While growing up, many of my friends were Jєωs. That's who lived in my neighborhood. I also had Indian and Asian friends for the same reason. I had only one black friend, not because of the general characteristics of blacks, but because there was one black family in the entire school district, and they happened to live two blocks from my home. I also happened to like their daughter who was in my class at school.
Current example: I have Muslim neighbors in the building across the street. Fa'ad is married to one wife, Fadimah. (Fatima!) They have seven children. They aren't terrorists. Of course, one never knows for sure, but I highly doubt Fadimah is, at this moment, plotting my beheading. In all likelihood, she is bustling around getting breakfast and seeing to her four girls getting out the door to school on time. Fa'ad is more likely mentally going over his workday tasks as he rides the subway than salivating over the forty virgins he'll get after blowing up the Manhattan building where he works.
For myself, I'm concerned mainly with getting on the subway, getting off at the right stop, finding the right building, and, hopefully NOT having to miss any more work because of jury duty. I thought of getting myself a St. Joan of Arc costume and sword and taking out those Freemasons and Revolutionaries who run the system, but, well, what do CI readers think?
