From an outsiders point of view CorahsDad seems to know the facts of what he's talking about, you...... not so much.

Just saying.
Wali has many meanings in Arabic. To be clear when interpreting that statement using the simple western term friend is likely inappropriate because the intent likely refers to a deeper spiritual meaning and being a spiritual text you want followers to be deeply connected to similar minded folks.

Again...we keep going around in circles about a religion that does similar things as others but vilify one while ignoring the similarity of others.

Fact is...fanatics don't rule any religion. Fact is the Muslim community does need to shout that from the rooftops.
