Next, please address the substance of my criticism, which has been, plainly, biblically based. Your comments thus far have been highly pragmatic, that is, "Well, it works, and people leave Islam." Well, personally, I am not interested in getting people to leave Islam.

Just getting them to leave Isalm, still leaves them lost, which is Dr. White's point (obscured by the truncated quote).

There are a number of points to be made here.

1. Many, many people-including former Muslims-were atheists/agnostics before they came to the cross. Not everyone repents and confesses Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior the minute they realize that Mohammed was a false prophet.

2. Even if they ultimately are never reconciled to Christ, as heartbreaking as turning away from the way, the truth, and the light is, turning a Muslim who could potentially become a suicide bomber into an apathetic atheist-or an atheist who argues against Islam, and thus persuades more Muslims to reject their false doctrine-is preferable to letting that Muslim wallow in his ignorance and darkness, and potentially harm other believers-and even other unbelievers.

A very weak point. If Christians never did any thing for others without simultaneously trying to convert them people would likely get sick of it real fast and not want help from Christians.
