What 's big fuss, all important Pakistani leaders went to Evanglical Christian schools

I guess if we look at the issue aside from bigotry and racism we will see a value about learning about another culture. Islam is still the most misunderstood religion in the west and is simultaneously at attack by fanatics on one hand and the other hand from other forces including the media and the movie industry. ...
I think we all should learn to understand each other. I myself have met a lot of jewish people and have become good friends with them and learned we had so much in common. We are friends even though we disagree about the Israeli policies but there is no hatred because of who we are.
If Islam is closer to any religion then it is judaism.
Attending school doesn't change anybody because of the Pakistani leaders are almost all educated in Christian schools including Musharruf.
There have always been active non muslim communities living among muslims and most cases flourished unlike the other way around when Muslims lived under non muslims so I disagree that muslims we will just take over. Muslims like everyone is worried about putting the food on the table and has no time for telling others what to do. It is hard enough keeping the faith individually in this society.
Even if Islam comes then what is so bad about it?
If someone can live a moral life w/o drugs etc as a lot of prisoners are doing, then I am all for it and let them be whatever they want to be be it Hare Krishna or Islam or christianity.
