Demonizing Muslims is the last thing a Christian should do

It is so fashionable to demonize a Muslim or Arab, but is that the right thing to do? We're called to be lights in a dark world, not doors with deadbolt locks. As long as we decide Muslims and Arabs are "no good terrorists", Jesus' love does not shine in us or for them.
It's hard to turn on the TV or read a newspaper and not be confronted with the idea Christians should be demonizing Arabs and Muslims. It appears to be the "fashionable" in thing to bash, and that's not only a problem but also a shame.
Politically, Muslims and Arabs are the lightning rod that has pushed issues like Social Security, the environment, economic growth, and the national debt below the fold. All too often this is a common tactic in which the White House has raised to an art form: hide the bad news by releasing it late at night or over the weekend when people aren't reading it. If you can't hide the news, you make some up or you wait to hide your bad news behind a convenient story that has enough attention so yours won't be noticed. The more this happens, the worse our country slumps into sickness. We don't need diversions; we need real, solid, credible solutions that don't pay off special interest hacks.
By making Muslims and Arabs "the bad guy", the less the mainstream media and the White House have "time" to focus on the real issues. So let's avoid falling for this game of demonization to hide ineffective government, otherwise, we are guilty of not being good stewards of the country we're charged to protect and care for.
Another good reason Christians should not demonize Muslims and Arabs is based on the words of Jesus: " And He said to them, 'Go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all the creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned.' " (Mark 16:15-16)
Have you noticed as a Christian, how hard it is to seek and save a lost Muslim if he has been told how awful he is based upon his belief in Islam? He turns on the TV and he hears about terrorism and is shown a picture of someone he looks like. He picks up a newspaper or a magazine, and he is confronted with the horrors others who share his religious beliefs. His hands are clean, but he is shamed and bluntly told at every turn he will always be a lousy Muslim/Arab/terrorist. That's a huge weight for anyone to carry. How can a Christian hope to show the love of Jesus if we, bearing His name, mistreat an innocent person based upon the war on terror propaganda?
Christians need to remember they are ambassadors for the King who has saved them. The King of Kings does not discriminate and has given us an order to spread the gospel to every living creature. Our Lord does not turn away any broken soul who crawls in repentance to the foot of His blood stained cross, so what makes us believe we can exclude them from evangelizing?
If we listen to the bad mouthing, we will never reach out to these people. As a Christian, I know I am spared from the judgment at the moment of my death. If I love My Lord, then I will obey his commands and seek and save the lost. Why should I want anyone to pass into eternal damnation if I'm not willing to go there myself? Is heaven a place only for Christians who cloistered themselves behind church walls?
If you love Jesus and you are thankful He took your punishment on the cross, ignore the political world's attempts at segregation and reach out no matter the skin color or religious preference. Jesus reached out for you out of love when he could have passed over you because of the color of your sins. Remember, we're called to be lights in a dark world, not deadbolt locks.

Hollywood has spent decades demonizing muslims and arabs in particular. When was the last time you saw an israeli or even a jewish character who was the bad guy in a movie?
