   Step 2: Respect your friends opinions.

   When ever having a discussion, consider their opinion as equal, and that either of us can be right. , Never bring up some areas of discussion, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, radicalism from each side, Gaza/Lebanon, or general belligerence (hostility) between both sides (Mashhad massacre, Cave of Patriarch shooting, violence encounters between Judaism and Islam are especially risky) , This is very helpful as it brings up a protagonist effect.
   
   Some examples of topics could be Kosher/Halal, Monotheism, and even history.
   
   But don't get too risky in your conversations (Circumcision is a no-no.) , Study about each others religions, and customs.
   
   Always be respectful. , They may not always be as easy to deal with.
   
   Always watch your tongue! , Unfortunately prejudice is common, and we are all victims of it.
   
   If you ever see some ignorant folks beating on your friend, stand up for him or her. ,!
