So you don't have to accept it.

But the question is what Christians are supposed to believe. Jorge's point is that, if Christians do not proselytize among Jews, they will be denying their own beliefs -- or at least what they claim are their beliefs.

"But the question is what Muslims are supposed to believe. Ahmed's point is that, if Muslims do not proselytize among Christians, they will be denying their own beliefs -- or at least what they claim are their beliefs."

Every person has their own philosophical "row to hoe" and how they do it should be nobody else's business. If I want to discuss my atheism with someone whom I know to be religious, I ask them that we honor each other's differences of outlook. If it seems that this is not going to work, I smile and ask, "Well, anyway, how are the kids?" and drop it. My ego is not dependant on converting anyone else to my philosophy. Life's too short, anyway.
