I know several very, very patriotic muslims.

I do too...to a man, they are intelligent, hardworking, affable, and love the United States. They also happen to be really lousy "Muslims." They never read the Qu'ran. They don't pray to Mecca. They don't go to the mosque. In fact, the only resemblance they have to Muslims is that they are from a particular country. They are Muslims like Ted Kennedy is a Catholic.

They are practicing Muslims like Ted Kennedy is a practicing Catholic.

Not to pick a nit.

They also happen to be really lousy "Muslims." They never read the Qu'ran.

That's really the point.
It's the Muslims that actually read and believe the Koran
and the Hadiths...
and then "put their faith into action" that are a danger.

Lapsed and/or apostate Muslims are generally not a problem.
Of course, a few of them get killed before they can escape to havens.
Like the USA.

Not so for some of the ones I've met. I've never met a more anti-mullah person in my life than 2 Iranians I worked with. And I currently work with a devout Pakistani, who abhores Bin Laden and was very disgusted by the whole BS cartoon protests.

Then why haven't they embraced Christianity? They simply cannot be both.

"They are Muslims like Ted Kennedy is a Catholic."

I know. Ted Kennedy is hardly a Christian, Kerry is one of those "spiritual" bozos, and Hillary is an atheist who "attends services."

They are a disgrace to those of us who actively pursue Christ's example.

But...have you discussed Israel with them? I have found that to be most enlightening.
