Hi all, I'm new here...I kind of stumbled on this forum and liked what I've read so I thought I would begin posting.

I must say I'm not too well versed in Christianity, I just recently started going to church and stuff, but I've really enjoyed it a lot. So sorry if my knowledge on the Bible isn't too great.

Anyway! Now that my introduction is over I have a question:

I go to college here in Texas (I'm currently taking summer classes), but I was talking with someone and we got on the topic of Muslims in the United States, and this person was really offended when I said that we should try to keep a watch on them and things like that. Anyway, I couldn't really convince this person or argue too well...I mean it seems kind of ridiculous that we aren't keep a close eye on potential terrorists right? I don't know I'm not too good at all this.

I was just wondering if anyone could help me come up with a good way to argue this so that I can try to convince this person next time I talk to them, either from a social approach or a religious one. Anyway, thanks for the help, and hello to everyone!
