There are some great missions to Muslims (in Muslims countries), believe it or not. And they have been very effective. There has actually been quite a large wave of Muslims converting to Christianity...a wonderful things to behold.
And if I am not mistaken, Jesus went to the Cross for ALL humans.

And if I am not mistaken, Jesus went to the Cross for ALL humans. He did indeed sir. I think one of the most Godly men I have ever known, in Texas, was an Ex Muslim from Iran. What a pillar of faith he was.

Correct - I know a dozen odd Iranians living in various parts of Europe and a few Iranians living IN Iran. All of them left Islam - but those in Iran left it secretly (or they would be killed).
The vast majority of Muslims do NOT read the Quran because
- it is in Old Arabic - 80% of the muslim world does not know Arabic at all, and among the rest, next to none can read Old Arabic (Classic Arabic)
- Even if they read it, the Quran is
- not arranged chronologically but by the length of the chapters (sura)
- has abrogation - later (chronologically later) verses cancel out chronologically earlier verses.
- It refers to events like in the above "tell people about x" and doesn't say much - like going to a stranger's family gathering where everyone is talking about people you have no idea about doing things you have no idea about
- To fully understand it you need to read the Sira - the biography of "Mo" written 200 years after he allegedly lived
- And the hadiths - all of them written 200 years after this Mo allegedly lived, and
- The Hadiths are checked by "hadith science" - namely that they say Hadith X123.44 is accurate because it was compiled by Bukhari who heard from Daulat who heard from Ahmed's brother-in-law's cousin Ejaz that his grandfather, Farid, had heard from Garima who heard from a companion of the profit, Halouma, that Mo once did something" - yeah, that's their version of "science" - that these were "honest" tellers
And they give up and believe what they are told.
Ditto for what they are told about Christianity - and their "Jesus" is a fictional character, not the real Jesus, Lord, God and Savior
