Pastor John Chisham shares the proper Christian perspective in this post, which begins:

I am not like Brian McLaren or his friends who believe that there is some benefit to fasting alongside a Muslim to find some blessing from God, or better understanding of a my Muslim neighbors, who are unfortunately in darkness because they follow a false God called Allah.

I am not like Rick Warren, who will compromise the preaching of the Gospel to pragmatically unite with Muslims because I think God is not able to work through Christians alone in poor nations to feed, clothe, and heal the poor and needy.

I am not like Samir Salmanovic who believes that Christianity, Islam, and Judaism can co-exist. However, I find myself in the midst of this celebration of Eid, the end of Ramadan, with many of my Muslim neighbors and friends because I work at the Y where they hold this celebration and I also hold a church service which will be held directly across from where they are holding their celebration.

Do not get me wrong, I love my Muslim neighbors and friends. But this does not mean that I will not tell them the truth…
