Is a person allowed to answer amen to a prayer or blessing of a gentile? I would assume you can unless the prayer specifically of an idolatrous nature. For example in Christianity saying grace before eating or the Lord's Prayer neither of which refer in any explicit way to Jesus. I would furthermore assume it is permitted to answer amen to the phrase allahu akbar (God is the greatest) as Rabbi Froman himself uttered this phrase in an effort to make peace.
Note: I am asking about a non-Jewish prayer only
