I would suggest that St. Tamara, Queen of Georgia (well, King of Georgia, since the Georgian language only has a masculine word for a reigning monarch) provides a model of how to evangelize Muslims: she managed to convert a fair number of Muslim hill-tribes around Georgia to Holy Orthodoxy. The first step was to decisively defeat them (and larger Muslim powers) in battle. It is also important that she offered them Orthodox Christianity, which provides a complete way of life, not a thin, half-secularized, salvation-by-faith-alone protestant version.

Good grief, what a generalization. You do realize there are segments of Protestantism that are nothing at all what you describe. It is a complete way of life to them.

I take it you are Greek Orthodox...or did you mean the RCC as “orthodox?

This would give them "islam lite". A works based theology with no assurance of salvation, just a vague hope.

Islam offers no assurance just a vague hope that your good works outweigh your bad deeds and that allah decides that's enough for you. It's easy to see where muhammed got these screwed up views.
