Do the verses mentioned in the Gospel (Matthew 5:38-44) imply not defending oneself, or are they a call for absolute tolerance and love? And does Christian love differ from the justice found in all religions?
Had this girl read the fatwa carefully, she would not have said what she said, or perhaps she is intentionally looking with one eye, as the fatwa mentioned verses indicating the repelling of evil with good, forgiveness, and suppressing anger. She must be fair and read what she reads with care so that it becomes clear to her that Islam is a religion of moderation.
Islam wants the Muslim to be honorable, and wisdom is placing things in their proper places. We do not concede that what the girl mentioned is the religion of Christianity that was revealed to Jesus (peace be upon him), as much distortion has entered it.
You must cut ties with this girl, and you must be careful that these trivialities do not lead you astray from Allah's straight path, causing you to lose your worldly life and your afterlife.
