If converting them to Christianity is such a horrible thing then convert them to that other great faith of the modern world, Communism

You continue to miss the point. No one can 'convert' anyone else to Christianity. Only the working of God within a person's heart can do that. Your substitution of communism seems to indicate that you still don't 'get it.' Or are trying to act as though you don't.

The heart of a Muslim is no worse than the heart of a person born in a so-called 'Christian' country. We are all equally sinful.

It is a fundamental truth of Scripture that we are ALL created in the image of God. Islam is an external factor that seemingly makes things more difficult, but we are talking about the working of an Almighty God, arthurus, for Whom nothing is impossible.

Communism and Christianity and Islam are the 3 great all encompassing faiths of the world. Communism is really the only alternative to Christianity that is suitable as a replacement for Islam. I suggest that one because such an all encompassing faith is required and if it is determined that we are not going to push Christianity on them then we might as well push Communism because without a Christian framework and values that is what they will fall to, anyway, or back to Islam. I have been speaking hyperbolically to try to get across just how serious the threat from Islam is. No we don't have to forcibly convert Mohammedans but we do need to destroy all the physical signs and structures of that religion and offer a replacement if we determine to remove the threat permanently. We can then encourage Christian missionaries to cover the ground and give them protection. Iran and other states should be colonized for a couple of generations the way we, in fact, colonized Germany and Japan after the enemy is, in fact, crushed to the extent that the West can walk in and rule as happened in Germany and Japan. Being nice- compassionate- is not going to do anything but exacerbate the threat.
