When religion A says you shouldn't do this with Religion B and religion b says the same, how then do we bond together? How do we live in love, peace, and light?

We live in a world with each other. We are going to be here for a very long time. Our descendants are going to continue in this same world, so if yall desire don't be friends with your neighbour. I hope we are all ready for the consequences.

Many hypocrites like you are in Ogboni and other secret cults. We know your likes, so we are not surprised by your hypocrisy.

Meanwhile, we Muslims are not begging Christians, I mean useless church goers to feast with us. Our food never teach us sef. Real Christians who are followers of Christ know that we are brothers.

Anyway, if you are a Muslim like myself or a Christian like my friends and you think only those who proclaim your religion are God's own and only them will make Heaven, then I will need to see your medical certificate of mental fitness because you don't sound mentally balanced. Only mentally unstable people have that thought.

Good, include not entering Toyota cars, destroying every China phone you have,stop using any Chinese product you have (Samsung,Tecno etc) not only phones o and TV too. Only include not drinking Fanta(it is associated with the Nazis,stop spending Naira because and Arabic inscription is on it,there is more to the list but you get the idea.you can cancel your Facebook and Instagram account too.
I hope you know the Toyota you drive is manufactured by Christians in USA or even the Benz manufactured by German Christians?
Samsung is not Chinese, it is Korean and we have a lot of Korean Christians manufacturing it.
I drink coke and it was patented by a Christian.
I live in Europe so I spend hard currency with Christian symbols.
Facebook is owned by Mark Zukerberg, a Judeo-Christian. I responded to you based on your logic.
If you can't show me where all these things you mentioned are sacrificed to idols or are prayed upon in a temple, then you didn't understand me properly.

Psalmist1:
Am sincerely gladdened with the various views and citation made by some friends. In fact, I have read through the Bible passages mentioned and what I could figure out there is a message of love, understanding, freeness of mind liberty knowing what you believing and not going contrary to your belief and on the other hand luring others into sin. The word mentioned idols, and the question is are our Muslim brothers worshipping idols? Or is there a misconception of thought in their religion which many lack understanding about. As we have different scholars and teachers in Christendom so they have and everyone teaches what he understood but the thing is what is the mind of Christ about our dispositions?. The passages said 'what defiles you is not the food you eat, but the thought of your heart which comes out of your mouth via the words you speak'. How and why we seem not to understand it?.
Thank you, broski.

Before you exchange your soul with 2pieces of meat and a plate of amala or rice, please kindly read 2Cornth 6:14-18 "

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

I have lived in the North for over 10 years and they would never share in our own Christian celebration...

Rather if they catch a Muslim BRETHREN trying to share in Christian celebration they will threaten to kill the person eventually
your a bloody lier.
and may God judge you for this.
the fact that some fanatics potray the act doesn't mean all Muslims in the North practice such.

clean your mindset.

. WAIT O...WHO Told U its not? In fact, its been sacrificed to their kaaba idol in mecca and moon god right from the slaughtering of the Rams by the recitement of certain incartation. Apart from the fact that they don‘t know how to cook food, I can never ever eat their unhygienically and unseason junks they called meals. Very dirty set of people.

If you see it or you know or your conscience tells you that it is Sacrificed to idols then you should not eat it..

It's considered a bit of an oddity for Christians to feast with moslems in iftar feast.

Today, I joined my friends in their iftar feast. It’s called being polite and a good neighbor. For years, I have invited Muslim friends to attend our Easter party and they have graciously attended year after year. So when they have a potluck when their month of fasting ends, I go to their party. It’s a Jesus thing. I wish more Christians would reach out in love as Jesus did.

Ok, That's my opinion, I need to hear your thoughts on this.
We have "Christains and we also Have "True Christains".
"Christains eat from Everywhere and everyone because according to them "you need to live at peace with everyone" and bla bla blah. But True Christains obey God according to 2cor. 6:14-18 in the Holy Bible.
Let me clarify this, 90% of christains are clueless and follow popular opinion while the remnant 10% Know and interract with who they serve(Jesus) and follow his Opinion as written in the Bible.

I cannot attend their feasts but i can accept gifts and food from Muslims, witch doctors(herbalists) but i will empty it in the bin and return the plate to them: its not fear, the hidden reason is that eating their foods or attending their parties makes a true christain a participant in their Idolatry and hence Unclean before God.

So, if I decide to exercise my freedom (just as Paul wrote) and eat the food with the knowledge that there are no idols (and I do it without causing the weak to lose faith) I should be fine. I have written this to assist those who may not have time to go read the Bible. This is in support of what the op posted to a reasonable extent.

You can also visit the former eastern region and check if you will find any indigenous Christian accepting food or meat from moslems during their festivals

Yorubas are our major problem in Nigeria as a nation. They don't know what is abomination is religion or politics. No different between Yoruba Moslems and Christians. They can freely share their place of worship with each other. The will eat anything eatable and married themselves regardless of what their religious holy book said.

Hey bro!!! The major reason why we humans are called advanced is because of our ability to think and probably reason more than our primate cousins. I will advise you to try not to subject your actions to a book in particular but think as an individual and make decisions based on your thought. With that, whatever the results are will be yours to bear.

As for me I see nothing wrong in sharing the meal with them and it's not a sacrifice to idols.

If you're truly a Christian then you will sanctify the food and eat knowing that you're covered by the blood of Jesus who is above all and any other god. Accepting the food in the first instance showed acceptance while tossing it in the bin is only foolish because you've allowed the devil be cloud your faith.
