How does Mohammedanism go about “Fooling the Very Elect?” If for no other reason, I disagree with your OP because of this question. There is no Christian worth his salt that is fooled by Islam, even for a moment.

You need to go back and look at the verses talking about "fooling the elect". Here is one:

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

The verses don't say that the elect are fooled, but that the signs and wonders shown by the false Christs and false prophets will be very amazing that if the elect weren't saved they too could be fooled or mislead.

Now, the one area I agee with you on is what the current face of Islam is. The way Islam currently is, it would be hard to imagine people being fooled.

However, I can imagine a sinario where say Mecca and Medina are smoking ruins and the new head or focal point of Islam comes out and presents a different face. I could see where this person admits to the wrongs of the "former" Islamic structure and provides security and food and water to those in need. Combine that with a "false prophet" who does things like brings water from rocks or calls fire down from heaven, many people can be mislead by this kind of "new face" of Islam.
