The happy thing though is that most Christians in America really don't accept the second paragraph in their hearts, even if that is in the fine print of the religion. Most Christians are live and let live folks, who respect and protect the right of each individual to find they own way. Indeed, only if acceptance of Christ is wholly voluntary and genuine, made by a sentient adult, is it something in which to rejoice. That is my sense of it, as one who has not traveled that path.

My point is that both religions are missionary, they seek converts all over the world. However, in much of the world, Islam is influenced by militants that equate converting others to conquest and enslavement. I still believe that enough Muslims don't accept this, and now in places like Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan moderate intellectuals and feminists are starting to challenge the radicals. I have no doubt that Bush's hardline stance on terrorism and the Afghan elections have alot to do with this trend.
