Scalerman I wish you Luck....

But there are more than a Billion(with a B) Muslims. You aren't going to convert them all. Get realistic. The ones we have to worry over are the extremists. Not the everyday people. The average muslim is not much different than you or me. They get up in the morning and just want to get through the day taking care of their work, families and all the day to day problems that all people have. Trying to convert people against their will also isn't a good idea. You can never get rid of all the extremists in any venue but if you can get to the leaders that (always) have someone else do their dirty work, you make a really good start. DON'T try to make people assume the same beliefs as you. The only thing you do in that instance is create extremism...not lessen it. I am not a daily or weekely church goer.... but I just have to make an observation here. Even being a self proclaimed Christian...why does every religion or church or denomination say We are the true church, the true Christians, the true believers, WE are right?? Every one... from the Catholic church to the Baptists to the Methodists to the Muslims! They ain't all right , ya know!! It seems that Religion has killed more people over the course of history than secular problems ever have. And quoting verses of the bible(especially the New Testament) to people who don't believe is a waste of time. Believe that
