Right bro, arguing will get us nowhere. The moslems have gotten so dogmatic that arguing with them is pointless. Equally, we Christians are often seen by some impious persons as annoyingly right-on because we keep stressing a literal interpretation of the Scriptures and believe everything in the Bible is completely and actually true.

Religion makes strange bedfellows. We and they are poles apart theologically, and we seem to get our jollies from trying to demolish each other's beliefs in tempestuous debates. Admittedly, without opposing viewpoints, we're just preaching to the choir, and things can become pretty mundane. I know I can't argue with my intransigent Muslim interlocutors since their minds are closed. But there's a chance that in the course of articulating and defending the foundational truths of our faith, someone out there reading our comments may be touched by God's Word, which is sharper than any two-edged sword and has the capability of piercing Satan's fog of deception that muddles the thinking of non-Christians (Heb 4:12).

Our goal isn't to win argument but to win the other person to faith in God's only way to eternal life through Christ alone. In one sense, the hard-bitten Muslim fundamentalists serve as a conduit for reaching out to more receptive readers, so it's not an entirely profitless argument.

Winning lost souls for Christ is more important than winning an argument lah!  We can't force people to believe in whatever we have said lah! Ultimately, everyone must stand before the Judgement Seat of Jesus Christ 1 day to give an account, including you and me lah!
