Love your (New) Neighbour as Yourself

What does it look like to love your Muslim neighbour as yourself? God is allowing global migration to bring people who have never had a chance to really consider the claims that Jesus Christ makes about himself, into situations where they can question and consider--accompanied in friendship by those of us who love Jesus and want to obey his command to love our neighbours.
