Good points Inna. If I may, here is my rebuttal. I cite the essay, "The Way" which is in the collection of essay's titled "The Abolition of Man" by C.S. Lewis as the best possible place for anything to come into being. So, why not evaluate the actions of the JW's and the Muslim's (indeed everyone) by what Mr. Lewis wrote about in that essay? As for the forlorn hope of integrating Islam, it is difficult to say the least.

As long as they maintain that the one supreme God is Allah, and that Muhammed is his prophet, time and words will be wasted. As long as Mohammed is perceived to be head and shoulders above others who communicate the truth of One God, then those who hold that view will be akin to those in universities that maintain Lenin, Stalin, Marx et al. are correct. One question: have you come across the book, "Abraham" by Bruce Feiler? I found it interesting that one communicates that the principles of Abraham have to be lived, and no mention was made of Islam. Perhaps we may see history repeated - the hellenized Jews were the first converts to the message of Yeshua 'nzaret.
